Public bug reported: Binary package hint: vorbis-tools
I use mediatomb (the official Ubuntu package) as a UPnP server. My music files are stored as flacs, which my player can't read so I use mediatomb's transcoding feature which calls ogg123 -d wav -f xxxx some_music.flac mediatomb sets up xxxx as a FIFO and reads the transcoded music from that. It used to work fine on Hardy but now I've upgraded to Intrepid the music will cut out after 15 seconds. If I transcode the file directly using ogg123 (e.g. ogg123 -d wav -f some_music.wav some_music.flac it works fine. If however I try mkfifo /tmp/test ogg123 -d wav -d /tmp/test some_music.flac and then use e.g. vlc in another terminal to read the transcoded data from /tmp/test ogg123 will hang until vlc starts reading from the FIFO then fail with "error. buffer write failed". So mediatomb is not part of the problem. I note that ogg123 changed from 0.11.1 to 0.12.0 as part of the upgrade to Intrepid. For now I've switched to transcoding using mplayer (which is slower to start up) as a workaround.
