Bug 259652 – media-sound/sox incompatible with sys-apps/file-5.00

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Radoslaw Szkodzinski 2009-02-19 22:51:05 UTC]

Sox cannot use new mime data sent by the new version of file utility, charset=binary indication to be exact.

Results in errors like:
play formats: no handler for detected file type `audio/mpeg; charset=binary'

Works correctly with sys-apps/file-4.26

patch sox for file version >=5.0

Hi, this patch should resolve the Problem.
Copy /usr/portage/media-sound/sox/ to you local overlay.
Save the patch in the file folder.
Add the line: epatch "${FILESDIR}/${P}-file-5.0.patch"
to sox-14.2.0.ebuild under the line: epatch "${FILESDIR}/${P}-distro.patch".
Run ebuild sox-14.2.0.ebuild digest.
reemerge sox and now it should detect mp3 files correct.

revised patch for all versions of file

This is a revised version of the previous patch, which works for <sys-apps/file-5.00 as well as >=sys-apps/file-5.00
