Description Gregory Shimansky 2003-02-01 17:39:52 UTC
Version:           2.2.1 (using KDE KDE 3.1)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc-3.2 (GCC) 3.2 (Mandrake Linux 9.0 3.2-1mdk) KDE 3.1 compiled for Athlon optimization
OS:          Linux

I had this bug in KDE vrsion 3.0 (mandrake 9.0 standard RPMs) and now that I compiled KDE 3.1 from sources, this bug still exists. Noatun displays incorrect bitrate for all my OGG files (while ogg123 and xmms show a correct variable bitrate while playing them). Here are example lines from playlist:

[Catharsis] - Sunrise Beast (1965219kbps)  04:57
[Catharsis] - Crusader (1994022kbps)       04:52

While ogginfo reports the following information for these files:

Nominal bitrate: 192,003000 kb/s
Average bitrate: 190,080065 kbps

for the first one, and 

Nominal bitrate: 192,003000 kb/s
Average bitrate: 191,304142 kbps

for the second one. These are just examples, there is no OGG file that I have for which noatun would show a correct bitrate. All my OGGs were grabbed by grip and encoded with oggenc with the following list of options: "-o %m -a "%a" -l "%d" --genre "%G" -b "%b" -d "%y" -N "%t" -t "%n" %w -q 6".

In version 3.0 noatun even displayed negative bitrate for some files. In version 3.1 it doesn't display bitrate for some files at all.

Versions of libogg and libvorbis are the following:

libogg0-devel-1.0-3mdk
libogg0-1.0-3mdk

libvorbis0-1.0-6mdk
libvorbisenc2-1.0-6mdk
libvorbisfile3-1.0-6mdk
libvorbis0-devel-1.0-6mdk

I have this bug too. 
I'm using SuSE 8.1 with the RPMs found in 
ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/3.1/SuSE/ix86/8.1 
 
The Ogg and vorbis packages are: 
libvorbis-1.0-32 
libvorbis-devel-1.0-32 
vorbis-tools-1.0-48 
libogg-1.0-31 
libogg-devel-1.0-31 
 
The ogg's I've tested recently were created with oggenc of the 
vorbis-tools-1.0-48-package.

Showing an incorrect bitrate

The file being played has a nominal bitrate of 128 kbps
Comment 3 Charles Samuels 2003-03-12 00:08:54 UTC
I too see this on SuSE 8.1. 
Comment 4 Carsten Pfeiffer 2003-03-12 00:57:06 UTC
I don't think this has anything to do with filedialogs. 
Comment 5 Charles Samuels 2003-03-15 02:15:59 UTC
research indicates that this is a gcc 3 bug.  It definitely exists on gcc 3.2.0.  Renchi Raju (irc) 
tried compiling libvorbis with -O3 -march=athlon-mp -mcpu=athlon-mp on gcc 3.2.2 and reported 
correct (i.e., reasonable) bitrates. 
 
I recompiled libvorbis with -O0 and the values were correct. 
Comment 6 Charles Samuels 2003-03-15 02:31:09 UTC
also -O3 -ffast-math works with gcc 3.2.2. 
 
I'm closing this Bug Report in the hopes that this bug will vanish as we move away from gcc 
3.2.0 to 3.2.2 (and 3.3).

Still incorrect bitrate with noatun compiled in mandrake 9.1

Just installed Mandrake 9.1. It has KDE 3.1 with Noatun 2.2.1. Compiler that is
used is gcc 3.2.2:

gcc (GCC) 3.2.2 (Mandrake Linux 9.1 3.2.2-3mdk)
Copyright (C) 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
This is free software; see the source for copying conditions.  There is NO

Noatun in Mandrake 9.1 still shows incorrect bitrate for all my OGG files (all
other applications show correct bitrate).

1) are you certain that ogg was recompiled in 8.2? (ask MDK) 
2) Add new files to the playlist.  It doesn't reread the tags when you startup again. 
Comment 9 Charles Samuels 2003-03-27 18:26:18 UTC
when I said 8.2, I meant 9.1 ;) 
Comment 10 Gregory Shimansky 2003-03-27 19:30:29 UTC
Yes it seems that mandrake didn't recompile libvorbis package after some fix in
gcc. Package build date is Jan 08 2003, quite old considering that gcc build
date is Mar 03 2003.

I recompiled libvorbis src.rpm package and now everything seems to work fine. Go
figure. Thank you.
