In order to playback aac, mplayer has 3 options: - libavcodec (called ffaac) - system libfaad2 (faad2) - internal copy of faad2 (internal faad) According to the analysis pasted above, the problem cannot be reproduced with the attached testfile and the decoder shipped by the ubuntu libavcodec package. In ubuntu we generally avoid internal library copies, i.e. if mplayer indeed uses the internal faad over the system libfaad2, then this would be a (seperate) bug against the mplayer package, which should be fixed. > This can be seen by removing libfaad2 (no faad2 libs installed > whatsoever) - mplayer by default still decodes aac thru faad (internal) > and does LC properly while Main contines to be the issue. which indicates that the internal copy of faad in mplayer inhibits the same problem. not very surprising. > Further - as a small test the other day I built vlc 1.0.6 on lucid > statically linked to faad2 -2.6.1 (source used in karmic) > > It plays aac LC files fine, exhibited the same (mis)behavior with aac > Main another indication that the libfaad2 package fails to playback aac main thanks for your analysis! -- Gruesse/greetings, Reinhard Tartler, KeyID 945348A4 -- Severe sound problem playing some aac files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/575798 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
