Hi, In order to reduce the need for the users to provide samples, both for tecnhical (bandwith needed, web/ftpspace needed and so on) and legal (I'm *highly* unconfortable in dealing with any not-user-generated samples), I'm writing down a frame generator import module.
This new module will generate frames using random patterns, so it will allow us to test the whole chain from filters, included, downwards. Doing like that will of course *not* eliminates the need for sample files, but will allow us to test a fair amount of annoying issue more easily, in a reproduceable, safe, way (no need to find a random sample, just fire up the generator, annotate the generator seed and post it). This will also hopefully help us in squashing the FC10 segfault issues. The progress so far is poor given the very low amount of spare time which I got those days. The very first tests are negative, however: doing just $ tcmodinfo -i resample on my test box works as expected (and valgrind doesn't see nothing wrong, so far). So, given the fact we've quite few pending issues, the first generator added will be the very minimum needed for the thing to work, mostly adapted by filter_testframe (which will stay, BTW) plus a pink noise audio generator. More, and more elaborate, generators will be added later. The code will be part of 1.1.3: I consider it a blocker for this release.
