Before even attempting to report a bug in libsndfile please make sure you have
|
|
Packit |
4aff17 |
read the
|
|
Packit |
4aff17 |
Frequently Asked Questions.
|
|
Packit |
4aff17 |
If you are having a problem writing code using libsndfile make sure you read
|
|
Packit |
4aff17 |
the
|
|
Packit |
4aff17 |
Application Programming Interface
|
|
Packit |
4aff17 |
documentation.

That said, I am interested in finding and fixing all genuine bugs in libsndfile.
|
|
Packit |
4aff17 |
Bugs I want to fix include any of the following problems (and probably others) :
|
|
Packit |

Compilation problems on new platforms.
|
|
Packit |
4aff17 |
Errors being detected during the `make check' process.
|
|
Packit |
4aff17 |
Segmentation faults occuring inside libsndfile.
|
|
Packit |
4aff17 |
libsndfile hanging when opening a file.
|
|
Packit |
4aff17 |
Supported sound file types being incorrectly read or written.
|
|

Omissions, errors or spelling mistakes in the documentation.

When submitting a bug report you must include :
|
|
Packit |
4aff17 |
|
|
Packit |
4aff17 |
|
|
Packit |
4aff17 |
Your system (CPU and memory size should be enough).
|
|
Packit |
4aff17 |
The operating system you are using.
|
|
Packit |
4aff17 |
Whether you are using a package provided by your distribution or you
|
|
Packit |
4aff17 |
compiled it youself.
|
|
Packit |
4aff17 |
If you compiled it yourself, the compiler you are using. (Also make
|
|
Packit |
4aff17 |
sure to run 'make check'.)
|
|

4aff17 |
A description of the problem.
|
|
Packit |
4aff17 |
Information generated by the sndfile-info program (see next paragraph).
|
|
Packit |
4aff17 |
If you are having problems with sndfile-play and ALSA on Linux, I will
|
|
Packit |
4aff17 |
need information about your kernel, ALSA version, compiler version,
|
|
Packit |
4aff17 |
whether you compiled the kernel/ALSA your self or installed from a
|
|
Packit |
4aff17 |
package etc.
|
|
Packit |
4aff17 |
|
|
Packit |
4aff17 |
|
|

|
|

4aff17 |
If libsndfile compiles and installs correctly but has difficulty reading a particular
|
|
Packit |
4aff17 |
file or type of file you should run the sndfile-info program (from the examples
|
|
Packit |
4aff17 |
directory of the libsndfile distribution) on the file. See
|
|
Packit |
4aff17 |
here
|
|
Packit |
4aff17 |
for an example of the use of the sndfile-info program.
|
|
Packit |
4aff17 |
|
|
Packit |
4aff17 |
|
|
Packit |
4aff17 |
Please do not send me a sound file which fails to open under libsndfile unless I
|
|
Packit |
4aff17 |
specifically ask you to. The above information should usually suffice for most
|
|
Packit |
4aff17 |
problems.
|
|
Packit |
4aff17 |
|
|
Packit |
4aff17 |
|
|
Packit |
4aff17 |
Once you have the above information you should submit a ticket on the libsnfile
|
|
Packit |
4aff17 |
github issue tracker.
