Package: sox
Version: 12.17.3-4woody2
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss
I invoke sox in the following way:
sox file.au file.wav
sox runs out of disk space half-way through the conversion (as confirmed
by a subsequent df), but appears to terminate normally: nothing is
printed to stdout, and the return code is 0. The target file is
definitely truncated, as can be easily discovered by playing it.
I feel this indicates a grave problem as the user or a script might then
decide to delete the source file file.au, perhaps permanently losing the
latter part of the audio data from the file. Of course in theory they
should check the contents of the target file, but this isn't always
feasible, particularly during mass conversions.
This bug is filed on a woody system, but I have checked the changelog
in sarge and I can't see any obvious fixes to this problem. I can
re-test this problem on sarge in about a week when I have time to
upgrade my system, if necessary.
Thanks,
Andrew.
