Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Charles (ccaz) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: WAV --ignore-length reads past end of WAVE chunk Initial Comment: Some WAV files contain extra RIFF chunks with metadata or other data in them (iXML is an example: http://www.gallery.co.uk/ixml/ ; for a list of software generating this chunk, see http://www.gallery.co.uk/ixml/compatible.html). Extra trailing RIFF chunks interact badly with the --ignore-length sox parameter, because sox reads past the end of the WAVE chunk containing the audio data and interprets the contents of the extra chunk(s) as audio data. So I can't use --ignore-length to fix WAVE files which contain bogus lengths (or 0 lengths) in the WAVE header if these files also contain extra chunks, as that results in random glitches on the end of the audio. Ideally --ignore-length would indeed ignore the length specifiec in the WAVE header, but would only read to the end of the WAVE audio chunk in the file. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=110706&aid=3539474&group_id=10706 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
