• Bug#266515: esound-clients: all sorts of creative failures playing back

    From Joanne Valentine-Cooper@1:229/2 to All on Wed Aug 18 07:00:09 2004

    Package: esound-clients
    Version: 0.2.34-1
    Severity: important

    Somewhere between 0.2.29-1 and the version being reported, esdplay lost
    the ability to work correctly. The symptoms are as follows:

    Occasionally, a monoaural WAV will not work where it did once before.
    Attempts to play them thenreturn:
    unsupported sound format: 4112
    If I open them in Audacity and resave them, they'll sometimes play back,
    but at doubled speed.

    Some stereo WAVs are also affected. When I attempt to play them, I get: unsupported sound format: 4128
    Opening and resaving in Audacity will cause them to seemingly work.
    Sometimes. (It's failed on me once, but it's more reliable than using
    the original file).

    Sometimes restarting the esd daemon fixes these issues (including the
    doubled speed playback, which is REALLY interesting). Sometimes. It's
    pretty much a crapshoot, and I cannot for the life of me find any
    reproducable circumstances under which it will and/or will not fix the
    issue.

    I had nothing even approximating these problems with 0.2.29-1, and
    frankly I'm flabberghasted as to what could be causing these issues. I'm submitting this bug report, incomplete and fragmentary as it is, out of
    some desperate hope that someone out there will be able to figure out
    what's going wrong.
