• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED CANTFIX

[Description wbrana 2010-03-24 15:56:32 UTC]

faac doesn't encode to bitrates higher than 152 kbit

$ faac -b 192 file.wav

Freeware Advanced Audio Coder
FAAC 1.28

Average bitrate: 152 kbps
Quantization quality: 100
Bandwidth: 16000 Hz
Object type: Low Complexity(MPEG-2) + M/S
Container format: Transport Stream (ADTS)
Encoding file.wav to file.aac
   frame          | bitrate | elapsed/estim | play/CPU | ETA
11238/11238 (100%)|  150.4  |    7.2/7.2    |   36.43x | 0.0 

Patch removes this limitation:

[Comment 4 wbrana 2010-03-24 16:54:33 UTC]

it is improved version of patch from FAAC CVS

[Comment 5 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) 2010-03-24 16:56:31 UTC]

hrm, please send your improvement to upstream too...

[Comment 6 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) 2010-04-22 10:03:04 UTC]

let me be clear: this won't go into portage before the updated patch is also posted upstream

[Comment 7 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) 2012-01-20 22:14:25 UTC]

closing the bug as cantfix because the original reporter didn't push his altered patch to upstream

and since part of the patch was actually from upstream cvs, we can just wait for new upstream release
