Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 479120
Audacious doesn't load and play .oga files

Created attachment 328368 [details] Patch to have Audacious open .oga files The current Fedora 10 Sound Juicer defaults to ripping as ogg/vorbis and now creates the files with the .oga extension instead of .ogg. When dragging and dropping these *.oga files on Audacious, nothing happens. Renaming them as *.ogg and trying again works fine. I've tested this trivial patch against audacious-libs and it works : The filename extension for vorbis files is hardcoded in the plugin, not detected by the mime type. Too bad. If this "fix" could be sent upstream and included in the Fedora packages, it would be great! Note that there is a more severe yet similar bug in taglib filed as bug #476105. The last few comments do indicate that we might have another problem here, if indeed some ogg/flac files are also named *.oga from now on.
May I inquire as to who came up with the idea to name these files .oga instead of the well known .ogg?
Very good inquiry indeed :-) Reading up on this page, it seems that it would be more of a Sound Juicer wrong choice to start naming ogg/vorbis files with the .oga extension! http://wiki.xiph.org/index.php/MIME_Types_and_File_Extensions#.oga_-_audio.2Fogg
I was about to reassign against Sound Juicer, since I've just checked and indeed in Fedora 10 it defaults to naming ogg/vorbis files with the .oga extension and the flac files with .flac extension (which it doesn't seem to put into an ogg container, but I haven't dug any further). But in the link from my last comment, it states : "Vorbis and Speex may use .oga, but it is not the prefered method of distributing these files because of backwards-compatibility issues." So either we should include this patch to have audacious work with the Fedora Sound Juicer's new default, or have Sound Juicer change back to the .ogg extension for ogg/vorbis.
Any further thoughts on this? I got a report myself against easytag about the exact same problem, but am still unsure about what to do (it's bug #483647).
