The package doesn't build here: http://pastebin.com/m3a3a4859 > Here is the long description of the package: > > - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - > In an average song there are points that require high quality and points > that require low quality (i.e. silence). > > Instead of having the whole file at 160kbps CBR (Constant Bit Rate), we > can use VBR (Variable Bit Rate). This allows us to have say 96kbps at > points not requiring high quality and 192kbps when we need it: resulting > in an overall smaller but higher quality MP3. > > Unfortunately, the problem is that many MP3 MP3 decoders estimate the > time of a MP3 file based on the first bitrate they find and the > filesize. This means that the "prediction" used by such decoders is > wildly wrong with VBR encoded files and, as a result, you can get > fairly random times. > > As most songs start with silence you usually get the song length being > shown as much longer than it should be. Also when you jump through a > file encoded in VBR, 50% through the file is not 50% through the song. > > A VBR null frame is placed at the beginning of the file to tell the MP3 > player information about the song length and indexing through the song. > > The problem arises because some poor encoders don't produce this null > frame or do so incorrectly and this is what Vbrfix attempts to fix. > > Vbrfix can also fix other problems with MP3s as it deletes all non-MP3 > content (other than tags you state you want to keep). It can also help > when merging two VBR MP3s together with a merging tool and then needing > a newly calculated VBR null frame. > - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - > > The package appears to be lintian clean and the upload would fix the bug > #434465, which is an ITP bug. > > The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: > - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/v/vbrfix > - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/v/vbrfix/vbrfix_0.24-1.dsc > > I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me. > > > > Kind regards, Rog?rio Brito > > -- > Rog?rio Brito : [EMAIL PROTECTED],ime.usp}.br : GPG key 1024D/7C2CAEB8 > http://www.ime.usp.br/~rbrito : http://meusite.mackenzie.com.br/rbrito > Projects: algorithms.berlios.de : lame.sf.net : vrms.alioth.debian.org > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
