Public bug reported:
totem plays certain ALAC files (.m4a containing Apple Lossless encoding) with
horrible buzzing noises.
The exact same ALAC files decoded by 'alac-decoder' produce clearn .wav files
which play flawlessly.
The problem does not occur with most ALAC files. The one I found was a
mono file, so that might be a clue.
I used ffmpeg version SVN-r0.5.1-4:0.5.1-1ubuntu1 to encode the ALAC file,
alac-decoder 0.1.3-0ubuntu3,
and totem 2.30.2-0ubuntu1
Here is the flow:
$ ffmpeg -i orig.wav -acodec alac alac.m4a # encode as alac
$ totem alac.m4a # horrible buzzing sounds
$ alac-decoder alac.m4a > decoded.wav
$ totem decoded.wav # plays cleanly
I'll attach an archive of the above files. Fortunately they are short.
