Hello, I'm no Debian / Ubuntu developer, may be I made some things not the best way, but it is working at least.
I managed to make a new package version, which includes a global codecs.conf file as I said, used by both mplayer / mencoder, enforcing libmad to be used instead of mp3lib. This should fix also Devede and other tools. Please, do not forget about the bug with ffsvq3 as I reported above. I do not think it is worth opening another launchpad bug for it, since the solution would be EXACTLY the same of this case. Please consider making this solution also (the patch I made does not touch ffsvq3). To tryout the patch I made at 7.04, save the patch to a directory, then cd into it: $ cd where-you-saved-the-patch-I-made $ apt-get source mplayer $ cd mplayer-1.0~rc1/ $ patch -p1 < ../mplayer-1.0~rc1-0ubuntu9.1_to_1.0~rc1-0ubuntu9.2.diff $ sudo apt-get build-dep mplayer $ fakeroot make -f debian/rules binary $ sudo dpkg -i ../mplayer_1.0~rc1-0ubuntu9.2_i386.deb ../mencoder_1.0~rc1-0ubuntu9.2_i386.deb Please, someone who uses Devede and other stuff please test my solution. It is working for me (obviously). If no one finds an error in it, I can see no reason why it should not be included as an update for feisty and for gutsy until a next mplayer release, as pointed by Raster. I'll be waiting for a confirmation. ** Attachment added: "Fix to mp3lib problem." http://launchpadlibrarian.net/8845931/mplayer-1.0%7Erc1-0ubuntu9.1_to_1.0%7Erc1-0ubuntu9.2.diff ** Changed in: mplayer (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released -- Distorted MP3 sound https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/85751 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
