Hello!
This problem occurs on many free players for Linux.
Some audio frames of mpeg files are not decompressed.
Here are some ways to see the problem:
Consider audio with 44.1 ksamples/sec stereo.
* On mp3 file:
Play the file with mpg123:
$ mpg123 -w file1.wav file.mp3
Now play the same file with mplayer:
$ mplayer -ao pcm -aofile file2.wav file.mp3
By comparing the sizes of the wav files, you can see that the
file2.wav is lacking 2*1152 pcm samples (two mpeg audio frames),
if you used mp3lib (one frame with ffmpeg).
A lack happen also when I dump audio from mp3:
$ mplayer -dumpaudio file.mp3
The same mp3 file is given, but without the first frame.
* On mpeg system file:
Dump the audio from the file and play it with mpg123:
$ mplayer -dumpaudio file.mpeg; mpg123 -w file1.wav stream.dump
Play the file with mplayer:
$ mplayer -vo null -vc dummy -ao pcm -aofile file2.wav file.mpeg
Compare the size of the wav files (on my system the file2.wav is
lacking 1152, or 2*1152 on some files, and I used mp3lib)
If I use ffmpeg, the problem only happen on some files.
* On avi file with mp3 audio:
Do the same thing done with mpeg system files.
The problem doesn't happen when I use mp3acm codec and sometimes
with the ffmp3 codec.
I tested with asf with wma files too. Some samples also are lacked
when I play the files. I compared the wav files produced by mplayer
and by a windows program called Goldwave, which uses code from
micro$oft.
The files produced by goldwave are bigger.
And at last, I would like to know how to activate the l3codecx.ax
dshow codec, distributed with win32codecs.tar.bz2, in codecs.conf.
Thanks.
