Description of problem: Please include FLAC, the Free Lossless Audio Codec, and its xmms plug-in. The current version of grip allows flac to be selected as the preferred encoder, but then fails since the flac encoder isn't supplied. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): N/A How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run "locate flac" 2. Observe that it's nowhere to be found 3. Actual results: bash: flac: command not found Expected results: flac should losslessly encode an audio file Additional info: If you do decide to include flac in an upcoming release, please build it with ID3 support.
here is a quote from flac's webpage ( http://flac.sourceforge.net/ ) When we say that FLAC is "Free" it means more than just that it is available at no cost. It means that the specification of the format is fully open to the public to be used for any purpose (the FLAC project reserves the right to set the FLAC specification and certify compliance), and that neither the FLAC format nor any of the implemented encoding/decoding methods are covered by any known patent.
This should be closed as the following packages are now in rawhide. flac-1.1.0-1.i386.rpm flac-xmms-1.1.0-1.i386.rpm flac-devel-1.1.0-1.i386.rpm Also, see bug 113291 about including the gstreamer plugin so that sound-juicer will work.
