Wrong bug

sparc stable

Simply using 

 $ mp3burn Better\ than\ Ezra\ -\ Cars\ crash.mp3 Better\ than\ Ezra\ -\
Wintercoats.ogg 

leads to noise in my CD player.

That's with cdrtools. With cdrkit it does a bit better (I don't have to put
extra arguments on the command line), but it also gives the last error:
cdrecord: Track 1 has unknown length.
cdrecord: Use tsize= option in SAO mode to specify track size.

I tried with different options with no luck. Ken69267 had similar issues.

Maybe kill this program here?

CVS contains various fixes. It solves some problems I had before and I could
burn a full audio CD from mp3... but the resulting CD just contained noise.

Unless someone is willing to dig into the problem, I think the package should
be punted from the tree, preventing people from wasting CDs and making the
mother Earth cry.

Please do so.  Removing arches.

Please punt this (maintainer request)

gone.

Just FYI, it works fairly reliably for me. The command line is:

sudo mp3burn  -o "dev=1,0,0 -tao -swab -v" <files.mp3>
sudo mp3burn  -o "dev=1,0,0 -tao -swab -v" -p <file>.m3u

swap is the standard thing to do for cdrecord when it produces line noise, it
is due to byte order issues between the OS and the CD driver, I think. Adding
-d to the cdrecord options does a dummy write, useful to test the setup.

I think sudo is not needed if the groups are set up properly, but I need it
here.

 Interesting...will we reimport it to the tree, tree-cleaner?

Added 0.4.2 "back" to Portage. It's a new version. I won't be restoring the old
versions, let's try to get this one in stable after 30 days.
