Description Andrew Conkling 2007-10-12 15:31:02 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Rhythmbox has been transcoding my FLAC music to my Cowon IAudio in OGG Vorbis format. My player is recognized fine by Rhythmbox and Banshee and supports FLACs.

Jonathan Matthew on the mailing list:
"HAL reports 'audio/flac' as a supported type, but we probably recognise FLAC files as 'audio/x-flac' by the looks of things (output from `gst-typefind-0.10 file.flac` would confirm this). If this is the case, we'll need to translate between the two in the transcoding code somewhere."

Steps to reproduce:
By transferring audio files to an IAudio device via Rhythmbox.


Actual results:
The CPU spikes and transferring takes a while.

Expected results:


Does this happen every time?


Other information:
I'm running Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy).
Comment 1 Andrew Conkling 2007-10-12 16:52:10 UTC 
Sure enough:
# gst-typefind-0.10 /music/Sorted/Sigur\ Rós/Takk/01\ Takk.flac
/music/Sorted/Sigur\ Rós/Takk/01\ Takk.flac - audio/x-flac

        * sources/rb-removable-media-source.c: (impl_paste):
        Add mappings for FLAC (audio/flac <-> audio/x-flac) so FLAC files can
        be transferred to devices.  Fixes #486049.
