So the issue is that Audacity doesn't support any sample formats from FFmpeg other than 16-bit. So audio from decoders that do not output 16-bit samples will not import properly into Audacity.
You may prove it by creating a WAV file in 32-bit float format. Then try importing it. Make sure you have "Filter chosen in OpenFile..." checked in Preferences->Extended Import and select "FFmpeg-compatible files" on the Import dialog. The file will import as noise and will be twice the length of the original. You may even get some memory corruption, though I've had difficulty repeating it...still keeping an eye out for it. I'll have a solution for this shortly... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/602934 Title: ffmpeg import/export not working with ffmpeg version in maverick -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
