Package: wodim Version: 9:1.1.11-3 Severity: important Tags: upstream This one is a weird one. Its also reported to Fedora Team. wodim/growisofs will take anything as input for a data track and burn it. "Etching a Tape". Reading back this tape WILL FAIL short of the burned media size.Try it with /dev/urandom for some cheap entertainment....
Try this with an audio file, however and at least wodim complains about mimatches and bad formats, even if given a wave file.I used the old KCS tape program for dos to test a theory. We know wodim will burn a normal wave file.The test was to see if we could hide data inside an audio file(very old school) and burn the audio file "tape" to disc. In thoery we generate a compliant mono wave file as output.In reality, I think the headers get screwed up doing this somehow.The file "recording" is less than 80mins and should fit onto the disc.K3B thinks otherwise. Use a 5MB or less source file if you want to try this. Wodim complains and I cant get anywhere, even after using audacity to set the wave file parameters to something reasonable.This seems to indicate wodim doesnt like wave files and also that only audio tracks are scanned for ISO compliance, when both aidio AND data tracks should be checked. Also, using audacity should fix any bad header information. I dunno where the dev issue is either.Jorg is complaining that we arent using HIS code as cdrecord and the like.For the obvious reasons, we CANT DO THAT.Whats wrong with MIT or GPLv3? -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.0.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages wodim depends on: ii libc6 2.19-19 ii libcap2 1:2.24-9 Versions of packages wodim recommends: ii genisoimage 9:1.1.11-3 Versions of packages wodim suggests: pn cdrkit-doc <none> -- no debconf information
