Title:
ogg123 buffer write failed writing to FIFO
Status in vorbis-tools package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Binary package hint: vorbis-tools
I use mediatomb (the official Ubuntu package) as a UPnP server. My
music files are stored as flacs, which my player can't read so I use
mediatomb's transcoding feature which calls ogg123 -d wav -f xxxx
some_music.flac
mediatomb sets up xxxx as a FIFO and reads the transcoded music from
that. It used to work fine on Hardy but now I've upgraded to Intrepid
the music will cut out after 15 seconds.
If I transcode the file directly using ogg123 (e.g. ogg123 -d wav -f
some_music.wav some_music.flac it works fine. If however I try
mkfifo /tmp/test
ogg123 -d wav -d /tmp/test some_music.flac
and then use e.g. vlc in another terminal to read the transcoded data
from /tmp/test
ogg123 will hang until vlc starts reading from the FIFO then fail with
"error. buffer write failed". So mediatomb is not part of the
problem.
I note that ogg123 changed from 0.11.1 to 0.12.0 as part of the
upgrade to Intrepid. For now I've switched to transcoding using
mplayer (which is slower to start up) as a workaround. (See

)
Thanks,
James.
