Package: pacpl Version: 4.0.5-3 Severity: important The unsuspecting user wanting to convert files to mp3 for eg. burning onto a CD, can get surprised that files converted with pacpl end up unreadable.
mediainfo indeed reports on those files: Audio Format : MPEG Audio Format version : Version 1 Format profile : Layer 2 I suppose it is not the expected result... Asking pacpl -v I get: --------------------------------------------------------- LibTwoLame 0.3.12 (http://www.twolame.org) Input : 44100 Hz, 2 channels Output: 44100 Hz, Stereo 128 kbps CBR MPEG-1 Layer II psycho model=3 [De-emph:Off Copyright:No Original:Yes] [Padding:Off CRC:Off Energy:Off ] --------------------------------------------------------- If I add "--encoder lame" on command-line, the result is a MPEG-1 layer 3 as expected. Looks like pacpl has wrong expectations of the default twolame options ? This is quite bad, since the shipped configuration sets it as the default encoder. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.34.1-00003-ge5b0813-dirty (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages pacpl depends on: ii libaudio-flac-header-perl 2.3-1 Perl interface to FLAC file header ii libaudio-musepack-perl 0.7-2 object-oriented interface to Musep ii libaudio-wma-perl 1.3-1 perl extension for reading WMA/ASF ii libcddb-get-perl 2.27-1 Perl interface to read the CDDB en ii libmp3-tag-perl 1.12-1 Module for reading tags of MP3 aud ii libmp4-info-perl 1.12-2.1 Fetch info from MPEG-4 files ii libogg-vorbis-header-perl 0.03-3+b1 perl interface to Ogg Vorbis infor ii perl 5.10.1-16 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction Versions of packages pacpl recommends: ii cdparanoia 3.10.2+debian-9 audio extraction tool for sampling pn faad <none> (no description available) ii ffmpeg 4:0.5.2-6 multimedia player, server and enco pn flac <none> (no description available) pn flake <none> (no description available) ii mplayer 2:1.0~rc3++final.dfsg1-1 movie player for Unix-like systems pn mppenc <none> (no description available) ii sndfile-program 1.0.21-3 Sample programs that use libsndfil ii sox 14.3.1-1+b1 Swiss army knife of sound processi pn speex <none> (no description available) ii twolame 0.3.12-1 MPEG Audio Layer 2 encoder (comman ii vorbis-tools 1.4.0-1 several Ogg Vorbis tools pn wavpack <none> (no description available) Versions of packages pacpl suggests: pn dolphin <none> (no description available) pn kommander <none> (no description available) pn konqueror <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
