Bug#1032082: sox: After security update, sox reports WAV file bits per sample is zero
Package: sox
Version: 14.4.2+git20190427-2+deb11u1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: team@security.debian.org
Dear Maintainer,
We encounter an error that occurs after upgrading to 14.4.2+git20190427-2+deb11u1,
and disappears when downgrading to version 14.4.2+git20190427-2.
Both sox and soxi report an error for wave files with GSM codec,
that were created using libsndfile.
$ soxi test.wav
soxi FAIL formats: can't open input file `test.wav': WAV file bits per sample is zero
After the error, it does not futher process the file.
Previously, it would output information about the file or process it (convert it).
The bits per sample in the wave file header is indeed zero.
The number of bits per sample is dynamic for the GSM codec.
Previously sox and soxi would parse and handle such files without problems.
