Public bug reported: Binary package hint: audacity
Trying to import wma files with audacity failed for me. After investigating I have found that the problem is that ffmpeg library available in lucid is not usable with audacity. Upstream developers are aware of the issue and described it here: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Known_Issues#Active_issues >From this page: Any FFmpeg libraries or packages built in 2010 may not be recognised by Audacity (Help > Show Log will list an error "undefined symbol: match_ext"). Workaround: Re-compile Audacity and change all instances of "match_ext" in ../src/FFmpeg.h and ../src/FFmpeg.cpp to "av_match_ext". This is a very simple change/patch that should fix the issue. Upstream seems to be undecided when they want to include it in audacity. I think they fear of breaking currently working systems (with older ffmpeg). But in ubuntu this change seems to be completely safe (since ffmpeg is already at a version which does not work without this change). ** Affects: audacity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- ffmpeg import/export not working with ffmpeg version in lucid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/602934 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
