> [ bounce that indicates that libdca is dead upstream] I've been asking on #libav-devel for what's going on here, see this transscript: 12:13 <siretart> j-b: has the libdca-devel mailing list been closed? it seems that mails sent there are being rejected. 12:14 <siretart> j-b: or is libdca dead/orphaned anyways? 12:14 <j-b> siretart: it is closed-post 12:15 <kshishkov> siretart: we have Libav decoder with more features even 12:15 <merbzt> siretart: dont bother with libdca anymore 12:15 <siretart> j-b: so where should bugreports for libcda go to? 12:15 <merbzt> siretart: /dev/null 12:15 <siretart> I see 12:15 <merbzt> just remove the package for debian 12:15 <siretart> thanks for clarifying it, I'll then see to get it removed from debian 12:15 <j-b> siretart: to the mailing list 12:16 <merbzt> I take support for the libav decoder 12:16 <siretart> j-b: you mean the mailing list that does not accept mails? ;-) 12:16 <j-b> siretart: removing libdca support breaks spdif 12:16 <j-b> siretart: it does accept mails from people on the mailing list 12:16 <kshishkov> merbzt: is it a consequence that libavcodec/dca.c lists both of us as authors? 12:16 <av500> j-b: breaks why? 12:16 <av500> you need libdca to not decode dca? 12:16 <j-b> av500: yes :D 12:17 <siretart> 550 5.1.1 <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual alias table (in reply to RCPT TO command) -- that's a pretty confusing in that case then 12:17 <av500> then call it libnotdca 12:17 <superdump> https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=608892 12:17 <merbzt> kshishkov: yeah 12:18 <kshishkov> j-b: probably you just need frame parser from it 12:19 <av500> kshishkov: are the frames not nicely split? 12:19 <kshishkov> av500: who knows? 12:19 <j-b> kshishkov: maybe. The fact is that the module that output spdif depends on libdca (resp. liba52) and that the avcodec module doesn't work as an audio filter 12:20 <j-b> kshishkov: this is a known moronic idea of VLC audio output 12:20 <j-b> kshishkov: it will be fixed when someone does it 12:20 <av500> j-b: url? 12:21 <j-b> av500: http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc.git;a=tree;f=modules/audio_filter/converter;hb=HEAD 12:21 <kshishkov> j-b: apropå, how's our RM demuxer versus yours now? 12:21 <av500> written by DVD Jon? 12:21 <av500> omg, holy code 12:21 <j-b> courmisch has started to fix it, but it ain't finished 12:22 [av500 wont touch that] 12:22 <j-b> kshishkov: I have on my list of votes: "denote real demuxer under lavf" for VDD 12:22 <av500> dtstospdif.c? 12:22 <j-b> http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc.git;a=blob;f=modules/codec/dts.c;hb=HEAD is the packetizer 12:23 <j-b> kshishkov: to be honest, I need to check if your new code fixes all the crashes we had for rmvb 12:23 <av500> j-b: but that does not include "dca.h" 12:23 <j-b> food time, but we need to discuss this, this week-end 12:24 <merbzt> j-b: you do know we have a spdif muxer in lavf do you ? Let's check what actually uses libdca in debian: siretart@ries:~$ apt-cache rdepends libdca0 libdca0 Reverse Depends: vlc-nox libdca-utils libdca-dev gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad As seen in the IRC query, vlc is being worked on to use libav* directly. Not sure about gstreamer. Sebastian, can you please check what would break if we removed libdca from Debian? -- Gruesse/greetings, Reinhard Tartler, KeyID 945348A4 _______________________________________________ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
