Created attachment 90309 [details] Debian audiofile patch (been used/tested in debian for a long time)
Any chance audiofile has made a release in the last few months? This patch looks like it changes the library ABI, plus it's just plain huge...
Sorry, no audiofile release in the last months :( The patch has been shipping with Debian for a long time and Frederic has merged it into Mandrake afaik, so it should be rather safe. Without this patch the GStreamer audiofile plugin has no way of working.
I noticed that there actually was a new audiofile release recently. Which I guess makes the need for this patch obsolete.
Yep, but we do need to upgrade audiofile I think (maybe only in the next release though).
I verified our latest audiofile has afOpenVirtualFile.
