Bug#590752: audacity: can't import "open" FLAC files

[Ximin Luo]

play1.flac is 180 megabytes. Here's a cleaner sample, 16 seconds of silence:

$ file test1*.flac
test1.flac:   FLAC audio bitstream data, 24 bit, stereo, 44.1 kHz, length 
unknown
test1_s.flac: FLAC audio bitstream data, 24 bit, stereo, 44.1 kHz, 741888 
samples





$ flac -o test1_r.flac test1.flac
[...]

Audacity can import test1_s.flac, but not test1.flac. (However, in this case totem seems unable to work out the total length of test1.flac, and shows "Streaming" instead.) Also when I try to re-code test1.flac directly (instead of using WAV as an intermediate), it comes out with: test1.flac: ERROR: FLAC input has STREAMINFO with unknown total samples which is not supported

can you please attach play1 to this bug?

I'm not that familiar with audacity nor its flac support itself, but I
guess an expert would certainly ask for a 'broken' sample in order to be
able to reproduce it without need to install and use the gnome sound recorder.
