When saving wave files, it calculates the wrong file size resulting it corrupt wave files. The attached patch fixes this. It is taken from Debian's bchunk (1.2.0-4) From Debian's ChangeLog: + * Piotr Kaczuba <pepe.cx> provided a simpler patch, hence replaced + 01-track-size.dpatch with the new one. + + -- Daniel Baumann <daniel> Fri, 8 Sep 2006 20:18:00 +0200
Created attachment 299605 [details] Debian's patch that fixes the file size calculation
I look for someone to take over the bchunk package. Are you interested?
There is some serious miscommunication here. Bug was found and reported on 24th July, 2004 (Debian) with a revised patch two years later. Still, in over three years in total, no fix has been released by upstream for this problem or the several other issues that seem to exist. Package seems to be dead upstream. I'm officially orphaning this tiny package.
I am adopting this package. I will test the patch this weekend.
You can test it by bchunk -w test.bin test.cue songname bchunk will then start extracting the tracks to wave. At the end of the process bchunk will tell you that the file ended too early. When you listen to wave files you can hear a small "tick" on track 1, and the last song ends too early. With the patch all this is fixed.
If SHNtool[0] could be added to the repository, bchunk could be removed without anyone missing it. (If anyone would miss it?) shntool is much superior to bchunk, and it is active maintained. Here is an example of shntool converting a cue/bin to flac. FLAC="$(echo *flac)" CUE="$(echo *cue)" shntool split -f "$CUE" -o "flac flac --best -o %f -" -a track "$FLAC" An argument for removing bchunk regardlessly could be os it support for ripping Play Station discs, which could be legally questioned. Ps. Eventhough I opened the bug, I have switched to shntool, and will never look back again at bchunk. [0] http://etree.org/shnutils/shntool/
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Given the very low interest in this buggy software, how about that it is removed, rather than shipping a program that doesn't work?
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
