I tried to send this message via gmane a couple of weeks ago but it never got through moderation. So maybe the moderator is on holiday, or there is some other problem in the gmane->flac-dev connection?

Hi, Back in October 2004, I did a bit of work on FLAC to get version 1.1.1 to build correctly under GNU/Linux/PPC. Only now have I realised that somewhere along the way something broke in FLAC's decoding. On my machine, roughly 50% of FLAC files are being decoded incorrectly. I presume that I broke the code somehow when translating Josh's original OS X assembler into GNU style. However, just to make sure I'm not heading down the wrong path, I would appreciate it if somebody could use the OS X build of FLAC 1.1.1 to perform a test decode of the track at: <http://www.toojays.net/~toojays/misc/test-flac-1.1.1-ppc-fails.flac> More information about this can be found at: <http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66350> Is there any kind of test harness or test routine which I could use to track down exactly where the problem lies? (Also attached to this bug is code to add a check for Altivec on non-Darwin based systems. I don't think this has been integrated into your CVS yet.) cheers, John
