Description of problem: Audacious can not play WAV files. I have tried both http://www.nch.com.au/acm/11k16bitpcm.wav and http://www.nch.com.au/acm/8kmp38.wav with the same result. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): audacious-1.5.1-5.fc10.i386.rpm How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download the files 2. Start audacious 3. Try to add the files Actual results: The files are not loaded in the play list. Expected results: The files should be loaded in the play list and be playable. Additional info: aplay can play the PCM encoded WAV file. I have also installed the following packages: audacious-devel-1.5.1-5.fc10.i386.rpm audacious-libs-1.5.1-5.fc10.i386.rpm audacious-plugin-fc-0.3-1.i386.rpm audacious-plugins-1.5.1-2.fc10.i386.rpm audacious-plugins-arts-1.5.1-2.fc10.i386.rpm audacious-plugins-esd-1.5.1-2.fc10.i386.rpm audacious-plugins-freeworld-1.5.1-1.fc10.i386.rpm audacious-plugins-freeworld-aac-1.5.1-1.fc10.i386.rpm audacious-plugins-freeworld-alac-1.5.1-1.fc10.i386.rpm audacious-plugins-freeworld-mms-1.5.1-1.fc10.i386.rpm audacious-plugins-freeworld-mp3-1.5.1-1.fc10.i386.rpm audacious-plugins-freeworld-tta-1.5.1-1.fc10.i386.rpm audacious-plugins-freeworld-wma-1.5.1-1.fc10.i386.rpm audacious-plugins-jack-1.5.1-2.fc10.i386.rpm audacious-plugins-metronome-1.5.1-2.fc10.i386.rpm audacious-plugins-uade-2.09-4.fc10.i386.rpm audacious-plugins-vortex-1.5.1-2.fc10.i386.rpm audacious-plugins-wavpack-1.5.1-2.fc10.i386.rpm alsa-lib-1.0.20-1.fc10.i386.rpm alsa-utils-1.0.20-1.fc10.i386.rpm libsndfile-1.0.17-6.fc10.i386.rpm
> http://www.nch.com.au/acm/11k16bitpcm.wav This contains Microsoft ADPCM data, which typically need a special decoder library. Most WAV players can only play RAW/unencoded. [Other tools like aplay and sox can decode this.] > http://www.nch.com.au/acm/8kmp38.wav This contains MP3 data. Audacious plays it fine here. > libsndfile Isn't used. Actually it's disabled in the build since 2006 with a comment that it would cause an unpausable WAV plugin to be built. With libsndfile, Audacious could play MS ADPCM WAV files. [...] Audacious 1.5.1 is a legacy release. One would need to check whether the new 2.x stable releases include an improved WAV plugin. Else it would need a trade-off decision whether to build with libsndfile nevertheless...
Fix committed to devel (currently F-12). Not clear yet whether/when this fix may be backported to F-10 or F-11.
Ok. Thank you. Is there anything I can do to help with the development/testing process?
Well, the more people with interest, the better. There's a thread at https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2009-June/msg00188.html where the Fedora Audacious packages have been orphaned. I've just started with taking a look at the build requirements, the spec file, and open bugs. Meanwhile somebody could prepare Audacious 2 packages for the Fedora package review process and see whether they can coexist with the legacy 1.5 Audacious.
