GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 352110
[flacdec] no support for ogg flac
Last modified: 2006-11-14 12:37:36 UTC
GStreamer, at least as shipped in Ubuntu 6.06+ supports native flac but not ogg flac. Steps to reproduce: $ sudo apt-get install flac $ flac file.wav $ totem file.flac [ plays correctly ] $ flac --ogg file.wav $ totem file.ogg [ Alert box: Totem could not play 'file:///home/giles/media/monty-vorbis-postfish.ogg'. You do not have a decoder installed to handle this file. You might need to install the necessary plugins. ] This is probably a bug in oggdemux not recognizing the stream type, but I believe the actual flacdec component is in gst-plugins-good.
Fixed in -good CVS (I am surprised that it did throw that error though, I'd have expected it to just do nothing): 2006-08-22 Tim-Philipp Müller <tim at centricular dot net> * ext/flac/gstflacdec.c: (gst_flac_dec_scan_got_frame), (gst_flac_dec_write), (gst_flac_dec_loop), (gst_flac_dec_sink_event), (gst_flac_dec_chain), (gst_flac_dec_src_query): * ext/flac/gstflacdec.h: Make flac-in-ogg work (#352100).
