Bug 377837 – media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc4_p20110322: high pitched sound when compiled with gcc-4.6 and USE="mp3"

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Matt Turner 2011-08-04 23:54:39 UTC]

When compiled with gcc-4.6, mplayer emits a very high pitched sound, making playback unbearable.

This has been reported upstream and a work around is available: http://lists-archives.org/mplayer-dev-eng/34349-compiling-mplayer-with-gcc-4-6-broken-audio-decoding.html

I can confirm that it fixes the problem.

Please add it to the ebuild.

Since this is a blocker for gcc-4.6, I would just like to confirm, too,
that the patch works on x86 (two systems tested) and amd64.

Since our media-video herd seems to not give a shit, I committed the patch.
