I've written a little script for VoiceXML applications to generate a WAV
from an MP3 on demand:
#file wavwrapper.php
<?
header('Content-Type: audio/wav');
$filename = $_GET['filename'];
$mp3dir="/var/www/mp3s/";
$playercmd="/usr/local/bin/mpg123 -m -w - -q -4 --8bit";
passthru("$playercmd $mp3dir/$filename 2> /tmp/playererror");
?>
I request it as wavwrapper?filename=song.mp3, and the browser reads the
MIME type properly, prompts me to play or download the song. I download
it, and save it as a WAV file. However, Mozilla downloads about 1.5M of
data, saves it all to a file, and then displays the downloaded size as
1k. And then when I try to play it back, it won't play; it's like an
empty file. Same thing happens if I try to play it directly. But if I
redirect the output of mpg123 from standard out (so it goes across the
web connection) to a file and then download the file, the file plays
just fine. I figure there's something to do with the way PHP dumps back
the binary data that just isn't working right, but I don't know what it
is. Anyone have any ideas?
