Hi, I'm a bit stuck as to how to report a problem with only a
particular track on a particular commercial CD failing to play in
mplayer or vlc (current versions in unstable) but playing alright in
mplayer2.

The track can be extracted by cdparanoia and plays fine in vlc and
mplayer when saved as a .flac file, but fails in vlc and mplayer
when saved as a wav file.

Can anyone suggest a way to narrow down the problem so that a proper
bug report can be submitted?


  * Can mplayer/vlc play the track directly from the CD? In VLC, do
Media  Open Disc  Audio CD  Audio Track : X  Play

  * Can play/aplay/paplay play the WAV file?

  * Can another ripper (perhaps on another OS) rip the track and provide
a usable WAV file?



The track fails to play when directly read off CD with vlc, but a .wav 
file extracted using cdparanoia plays fine with aplay.


As noted before the .wav file fails to play in vlc.

Arthur.

Could you explain what you mean when you say saved as a .flac file.
What is the command?

You could show commands and output.
If it is only one track, it seems very strange that it plays in one
player but not another player.

First though, don't bother filing a bug report
if you have any dmo packages involved. :(



By saved as a .flac file I mean ripping the track with CD paranoia

I'll file a report against vlc.

Arthur.
