Package: streamripper
Version: 1.61.7-1
Severity: important
Streamripper produces corrupt ogg files. Using ogginfo on a 5 second file
recorded by
streamripper produces output as follows:
New logical stream (#1, serial: 327b23c6): type vorbis
Vorbis headers parsed for stream 1, information follows...

Lower bitrate not set

Some players (e.g. Helix) will refuse to play a file recorded by streamripper.
Others (e.g. xmms, vlc, ogg123) will play the file but it is impossible to
navigate the file (e.g. skip ahead, rewind). The forum for the upstream package
has a couple of postings confirming this problem:
http://streamripper.sourceforge.net/openbb/viewtopic.php?t=1481
http://streamripper.sourceforge.net/openbb/viewtopic.php?t=1458
I can confirm that re-encoding the ogg file repairs it but is very time
consuming.
The upstream package concentrates on mp3 with ogg as an "in development add-on".
In the Debian context there is no official mp3 solution and the ogg recording
is crippled.
