The following test code appears to indicate that libsndfile does not support 16 bit wav file writing at 44100 sample rate, also tried FLAC 24 bit and failed. I was happily using libsndfile in one of my programs I'm developing until it stopped working. Tried revdep-rebuild and even emerge -e libsndfile. Reverting to a previously known working version of my program also failed. #include <stdio.h> #include <sndfile.h> int main(void) { SF_INFO sfinfo; sfinfo.samplerate = 44100; sfinfo.channels = 2; sfinfo.format = SF_FORMAT_WAV | SF_FORMAT_PCM_16; printf("sf_format_check returns %d\n", sf_format_check(&sfinfo)); return 0; } Compiled with $ gcc testsndfile.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs sndfile` -o testsndfile $ ./testsndfile sf_format_check returns 0 This is the failure return code. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Expected Results: This test program should have indicated a return code of 1.
Please attach your emerge --info to this bug as well. Were there any new packages or updates installed around the time that it stopped working? also, does any other formats work with libsndfile?
It was last known to be working over a week ago so I can't really put my finger on any particular update.

Other tested formats also failed but since those are obscure the combination of format and sub-format might have been incorrect and warranted a return code of 0. This is not the case for the wav and flac options I tried.
Making a diff between the vanilla header file (sndfile.h) and the one installed in /usr/include by the current ebuild renders the following result: diff /usr/include/sndfile.h ~/src/libsndfile-1.0.21/src/sndfile.h 315c315 < typedef off_t sf_count_t ; --- > typedef loff_t sf_count_t ; They should be the same! I have tried including the vanilla header file in my app, and everything works like a charm. I have a feeling that the change results in the SF_INFO struct being filled out wrong in open-for-read and interpreted wrong in open-for-write. Broken patch somewhere?
I've had a similar issue. The problem lies in the fact that the ebuild provides the large file flags to the configure script. This breaks the configure script logic and sf_count_t ends up always being declared as off_t instead of loff_t on 32 bit systems. Simple fix, remove "append-lfs-flags" : --- libsndfile-1.0.21.ebuild.orig 2010-09-05 11:15:09.000000000 +0200 +++ libsndfile-1.0.21.ebuild 2010-09-05 11:15:15.000000000 +0200 @@ -44,7 +44,6 @@ } src_compile() { - append-lfs-flags econf $(use_enable sqlite) \ $(use_enable alsa) \ I've contacted upstream about this before finding this bug. He confirms that sf_count_t is being declared as either off_t on 64bit system or loff_t on 32 bit system. However, those flags mess up the logic in the configure script.
done, this means libsndfile for multilib emul- packages is borqued again. +*libsndfile-1.0.21-r1 (05 Sep 2010) + + 05 Sep 2010; Samuli Suominen <ssuominen@gentoo.org> + +libsndfile-1.0.21-r1.ebuild: + Remove append-lfs-flags (#313259) again wrt #335728.
