Yes it will help to file a bug report if faad is actualy built from source in the LMS development (as oposed just some add on installed on your system like lame ). I think we have these versions because some special patches needed by LMS. Further it would be worthwhile to check the other helper apps built with special patches likes SoX ti see if something like this is a problem ? Or some imaga scaler or whatnot ? -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
