lack of response for 16 years is most often a sign that the issue has been reported to the wrong address. And indeed, it is nearly impossible for a software distribution such as Debian to coordinate the implementation of a feature that requires patches in multiple upstream sources. It is always best to discuss such issues with the enthusiasts that actually care about these very specific features, such as the community in the slimdevices forums. > The user philippe_44 who is one of the developers of the LMS found > the solution and said he provided it to you a few months ago. I don't know who that collective "you" is, but as you stated yourself, this bug report has seen no activity for the past 16 years and I cannot remember any other mail addressing this specific issue as well. > https://forums.slimdevices.com/forum/user-forums/general-discussion/1686476-problems-playing-web-radios-in-flac?p=1686490#post1686490 > > Would you be so kind as to make this patch available in Debian as > soon as possible, please ? Now that the issue has been reported to FLAC upstream and a fix is provided, it is up to the FLAC upstream maintainers to review the patch and either accept it or request changes. Then, it will eventually end up in the next upstream release and we will package that for Debian. I am not going to add a patch to the Debian package that has not yet been approved by FLAC upstream. > With the agreement of their managers, you could use the Debian > Security Channel to distribute this important update quickly to > Debian users... Absolutely no, no chance! Most impotantly, because this is not a security fix. Quite the contrary, this patch adds a lot of code that hasn't been approved by upstream yet and applying it from the PR would be much more of a new security risk than anything else. > The fact that this problem has remained unresolved for all this time > is certainly pushing people to look for solutions other than Debian > ;-( Well, since the fix hasn't even made it into FLAC upstream yet, I don't see how this is a Debian specific issue in any way. Any other distribution will face the same issue. Sorry I couldn't help, but you will need a bit more patience. :/ Cheers, - Fabian
