Description Volker Schroer 2006-01-12 13:19:16 UTC

When recording, gramofile writes wrong wave headers. This is similar to bug 95727.

Steps to reproduce

1) Apply proposed patch in bugreport 118226, to be able to use gramofile for recording

2) Start gramofile

3) Select recording and the appropriate parameters

4) Start recording

5) stop recording

Play the recorded file by aplay and look at the displayed parameters.

You should get 44.100 Hz Stereo, I got 8000 hz mono. The result may differ.

The reason is the same as described in bug 95727.

But the described fix does not fix the problem completely, as gramofile uses to different files named fmtheaders.h, one in the 'gramofile' directory and
 the othe in the 'gramofile/bplaysrc' directory.
The fix described in bug 95727 only patches fmtheaders.h in the gramofile directory

Comment 2 Stian Skjelstad 2007-04-18 18:17:23 UTC

Kind of buggy code, that relies on u_long beeing 32bit, but upstream seems like a dead fish. Any reason for the patch not beeing included? Or is it in the lack of a maintainer and/or interest
