The problem is that soundconverted attempts to use gstreamer lame's xingheader option, which hasn't worked ever (see the header comments in this file: http://webcvs.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins- ugly/ext/lame/gstlame.c?revision=1.102&view=markup).
The correct solution, as suggested in that header comment, is to add xingmux to the output pipeline. I'm attaching a unified diff file against 0.9.3-1ubuntu1 that fixes the problem permanently. I will report this ** Attachment added: "Have soundconverter create correct MP3 VBR headers." http://librarian.launchpad.net/6528578/soundconverter-mp3-vbr-header-fix.diff -- Soundconverter creates VBR MP3 files with incorrect length/bitrate https://launchpad.net/bugs/87715 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
