Description John 2004-11-30 05:00:10 UTC

Looking in the bugs for FLAC, I found problems getting the flac patch to apply and compile cleanly.  I was looking into the problem a bit more, and lo and behold, bmp supports a lossless codec, TTA.  There is a patch posted on both http://www.sosdg.org/~larne/w/BMP_Homepage and
http://www.true-audio.com/

for both a plugin and source patching.

I would like to see TTA support included in beep if at all possible.  I'll try and help in any way I can :-D.  BTW, TTA seems to be slightly better than FLAC at compressing, and about equal to Monkey's Audio.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

John: Sounds like you should open an enhancement request for tta and depend this bug on it.

I can apply the patch and get it to compile.
When playing a file, it falls over (BMP segfault).

I will attach the files so you can test this for yourself. If you can get it to work, let me know. Do note that CVS ebuilds are not supported, so if you want to go the CVS route, make a CVS snapshot.

Feel free to reopen this bug if you can make this work.
Note the plugin should be able to play files, packaging defective plugins does not seem useful to me.
