Created attachment 397237 [details] One liner fix Here's the one liner fix for the problem. The author set the picture description pointer to NULL and attempted to pass this to the FLAC lib function, which is incorrect. The patch will strdup() an empty string, which will be treated the same as if there was a description buffer. I successfully wrote new metadata to a FLAC file with the attached patch and metaflac successfully parsed and displayed the new metadata without error. As it's been two years since upstream has released a version, and upstream has not responded to my e-mail about this bug, what are the chances that this patch will make it anywhere beyond this bug report?
