Btw, the -w option seems to work for me. I use it with slimserver to convert m4a to flac for streaming to a sqeezebox like so. I have the following line in my slimserver config to get flac on stdout.
[faad] -w -d -s 44100 -f2 $FILE$ | [flac] -cs --fast --endian=little --channels=2 --bps=16 --sample-rate=44100 --sign=signed - This mostly works for me on my PPC box. The problem I am having with this is that faad does not correctly shutdown when the pipe closes. That sounds like a different issue to corrupted output. -- -w option for stdout output doesn't work https://launchpad.net/bugs/826 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
