Hi,
I'm a developer of Audacity [1] and we use libmad to import MP2/MP3 files. While it generally works fine (thanks a bunch for the great library!) there are some MP2 files libmad does not import (see [2] for an example, about 4.4 MB). When trying to play this file with madplay 0.15.2 on Ubuntu, the following output is given:
markus@markus:~$ madplay nb00.mp2 MPEG Audio Decoder 0.15.2 (beta) - Copyright (C) 2000-2004 Robert Leslie et al. error: frame 0: bad bitrate/mode combination 0 frames decoded (0:00:00,0), -inf dB peak amplitude, 0 clipped samples
The file does play fine with mplayer, though.
Thanks for any response! Markus
