paplay semibroken with ogg vorbis files

having pulse 0.9.19 and libsndfile with ogg vorbis supported, it is possible to play only few ogg files. i.e, (from default gnome-media alerts): /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/bark.ogg /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/drip.ogg /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/glass.ogg /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/sonar.ogg only drip.ogg can be played with, while with other three paplay just hangs.

this file blocks in paplay while aplay can play it

hi, i have the problem that some .wav files can be played, while others block paplay.

~ $ paplay --version pacat 0.9.21.1 Compiled with libpulse 0.9.21.1 Linked with libpulse 0.9.21.1

how can i fix this?

[dmk]

i forgot to mention that i attached the file.

it works in mplayer like a charm:

 mplayer -ao pulse water.wav #yay

even aplay works:

$ aplay water.wav #yay
Playing WAVE 'water.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 22050 Hz, Mono

[dmk]

and btw, .ogg files (at least the one i tried) do hang also.

[dmk]

$ pacat --format=s16le ~/.licq/tiger_is_online.wav

works. So i presume the "get format description from file logic" is broken.

Cheers, Flo

It works for me.

Is it still a problem for you? What version of libsndfile are you using?

[dmk]

libsndfile is 1.0.21 ... i'm going to retest with a newer version

[mkbosmans]

That's the same version I have. (Ubuntu 10.10)

Can you provide the output of PULSE_LOG=4 paplay water.wav And perhaps also provide a WAV file that does play with paplay.

[dmk]

first, let me try current git. It seems like there were some commits in february 2010 which might have fixed this... (i'm on pulseaudio 0.9.21.1 (gentoo)).

[dmk]

It's fixed in current git. Sorry for not trying earlier. I _suspect_ it was commit d57ba824145f9e42610c0aa21740f219ba671041 ("pacat: always fully fulfill write requests").

Cool. You should ask the Gentoo folks to update to 0.9.22 (preferably with the additional patches from stable-queue too) as it should also contain that commit :)

Closing here.
