This version of lame cannot create MP3 files from WAV files with a sampling rate of 48khz (as found on DVDs). There is no problem with the typical 44.1khz used on CDs. This problem doesn't occur with version 3.93.1. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. lame file.wav -o file.mp3 2. 3. Actual Results: Segfault Expected Results: Created an MP3
It seems that lame developers are aware and that it is fixed in cvs: http://www.mail-archive.com/mp3encoder%40minnie.tuhs.org/msg02131.html
damn i never use 48khz... sorry for letting this slip into stable... I'll check out getting that fix from cvs into a revbump.
I set the KEYWORDS back to ~arch... This is too big of a bug to let it be in stable. I looked through that thread, and they don't mention how to patch 3.95.1 to get it to work... they just suggest using a different version (fixed in cvs). Do you think you could look for a patch that fixes this or atleast provide a good backtrace of the problem so I can narrow in on it?
lame-3.96 is in portage and includes the fix.
