If using the "-w" option in faad and piping to another program, faad will not exit if the other program quits before faad is done. This affects music servers that convert on-the-fly, since if a song is stopped, especially several times, faad processes will continue to eat CPU cycles until done. I will attach the patch.
Created an attachment (id=140008) [edit] files/faad2-2.6.1-broken-pipe.patch Here is a patch for 2.6.1.
Please send the patch upstream and ping me once its applied so that I just have to backport it. They're the ones the most able to review the patches.
OK, emailed - will file a bug there if requested or no response... Thanks!
(Oops, forgot to send this on when I got it...) Patch accepted by upstream and in their CVS; should be all set to incorporate. Here's email from upstream: ------------- Received by lavajoe on 03/24/2008 ---------- Hi Joe, Thanks a lot for the patch! I checked it and committed it to CVS. I applied some more patches this weekend, so I'll wait for some feedback and if everything is ok now, I will release some new packages. Best regards, Menno -------------
