I was using liba52/a52dec in a work project a couple of years ago. The project involved real-time processing of 6 channel PCM/wav files. I found the `-o wav6' output mode of a52dec to be very useful. However, I note that media-libs/a52dec-0.7.4-r5 doesn't include the wav6 output option. If you pull the "latest" CVS version and build it, wav6 is an available output format along with wav and wavdolby. I checked Gentoo patches under /usr/portage/media-libs/a52dec and didn't see wav6 mentioned. Might it be useful to add wav6 as an output format? Or is wavdolby identical??? Thanks :^) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. /usr/bin/152dec -h 2. -o output modes include wav and wavdolby, but not wav6 3. Actual Results: wav and wavdolby listed as available output formats, but not wav6 Expected Results: List/provide wav6 as an output format
Asks upstream for a release, better avoiding adding snapshot if they are not needed.
