Vorbis - Nov 2000 - XMMS plugin cannot play b3 encoded files

Hello,

The subject pretty much says it all.  I downloaded the beta 3 RPMs and
installed them.  Encoded a disc with the and XMMS segfaults when
attempting to play them.  However, there are no problems playing files
from a prior release.

FYI,

Pat

Yep, the stream format seems to have changed. I didn't find any messages
on the -dev list about _what_ has changed. Can someone please shed some
light on this?

Ciao,

Vorbis has changed enough that you need the b3 version of the plugin to play
the b3 files properly - the b3 plugin is backward-compatible with b2-encoded
files.  

If you are sure you downloaded the b3 RPM's and you still have this problem,
try getting the CVS and building it (it really isn't hard, my g/f figured it
out, and she's only a Geek of Music!) -- this works for sure.

Cheers,
Darren

The technicalities of compiling a tarball or making a new (S)RPM aren't an
issue for me... :-)

I downloaded the RPMs from vorbis.com that are marked as B3.  No source
RPM for the plugin, so I don't know what version of the soruce was
actually used.  As for checking out the plugin from CVS, I had already
attempted to do that.  Lo and behold, nothing for XMMS in the
vorbis-plugins module.  :-)  It the XMMS plug-in code elsewhere?  My
suspicion would be in the XMMS CVS/tarball, but I downloaded the latest
stable release tarball and it wasn't there.  I didn't check their CVS
due
to a lack of time.  Murphy's law would indicate that it is indeed there.

Anyhow, my intent was to let somebody know that the RPMS on vorbis.com for
XMMS are broken.  Also, it'd be nice to include a source RPM for the
XMMS plugin so that I don't need to re-invent the wheel.

Regards,

Pat
