Version: 4:4.4.5-1
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
as it seems, the mp3 plugin in
/usr/lib/kde4/libaudiocd_encoder_lame.so currently relies on the
existence of the lame frontend in /usr/bin/lame instead of using the
libmp3lame shared library which is available for ages. The problem
with this approach is that in order for this plugin to work, the lame
frontend must not be compiled with libsndfile support, c.f. [1] and [2].
However, losing libsndfile support for the frontend is a pity, since
it allows for a much wider range of input formats. So instead of
relying on a command line frontend in /usr/bin (and furthrmore relying
on specific compile time options for it to work properly), the mp3
plugin should e.g. dlopen() the libmp3lame library.
This way it will work when the library is installed and not if the
library is absent - just as it is now with the frontend, but without
the libsndfile compatiblity issue.
Cheers,
Fabian
