Package: sox Version: 14.4.0-3 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Lately, I've noticed that any file I try to play with "play" (mostly WAV files, but it probably applies to all files that SoX can handle), causes an instant segmentation fault, like so: $ play sound.wav play WARN alsa: can't encode 0-bit Unknown or not applicable Segmentation fault So far, I've found two workarounds. Either install the "pulseaudio" package (which I'm a bit hesitant about because I've never had any real need for it in the past) or manually set the AUDIODRIVER environment variable to "alsa" or "oss". In other words, playback through ALSA or OSS still works, but it seems to fail to detect that they would, and at some point during that process it crashes. Here are the last few messages when running the same command with the -V4 option: play WARN alsa: can't encode 0-bit Unknown or not applicable play DBUG alsa: selecting format 0: S8 (Signed 8 bit) play INFO oss: OSS driver only supports bytes and words play INFO oss: Forcing to signed linear word Segmentation fault I hope this is enough to determine more exactly what's wrong, be it a program bug or a user error. (All this seems familiar somehow... probably because I commented on bug #664301 earlier this year. But I don't remember if this problem appeared immediately after 14.4.0-3 was uploaded, or if it's more recent. I would like to think that I'd have noticed, but I don't actually use SoX very often.)
