Public bug reported:
[Impact]
The developer of soundconverter, Gautier (kassoulet), created a branch with
highly recommended fixes for soundconverter 2.0.4, which fixes some annoying
bugs, one of which is the inability to convert videos to audio, because every
time you launch the conversion it looks for a gstreamer plugin it can't find
and abort the conversion leaving an empty file in the destination dir (#1308187)
[Test Case]
Open soundconverter
Add a video (I tried with an mp4 with h264+aac codecs) to the conversion queue
Press the "Convert" button
A window appears where it looks for an h264 decoder (while I already have it
installed on my system)
After some seconds it tells you he couldn't find any decoder for the job
The conversion is aborted and you will find an empty file in the destination
folder (by default the same of the input one) with the same name of the input
file and the extension changed
[Regression Potential]
I managed to build the patched version, the bugs are fixed and I didn't find
any noticeable regression.
[Other Info]
I managed to make the debdiff, but since I feel insecure with build & packaging
stuff, I'd prefer someone else to make it (maybe someone from Ubuntu Developers
Team)
