Bug#244608: distorted decoding of mp3s since mpeglib 3.2.2-1
Package: mpeglib
Version: 4:3.2.2-1
Severity: important
Tags: sid
Since upgrading to mpeglib 3.2.2-1, decoding of mp3s using mpeglib sounds
dreadful, full of strange MPEG artifacts. Version 3.2.1-1 works perfectly,
as do players built around other MP3 decoders (e.g. XMMS, mpg123, mpg321). Given
that there appears to be no code change in the upstream release from
3.2.1-1, is this possibly a compiler/optimization bug, maybe only on i386?
To reproduce, simply use:
yaf-splay foo.mp3
High-frequency sounds such as hi-hats appear to trigger the artifacts more
than other sounds.
This also happens when playing the mp3 using arts/libarts1-mpeglib, so I
don't think it's a problem with yaf-splay's output routines - it doesn't
sound like it either.
Ogg Vorbis files play perfectly using yaf-vorbis or through arts.
