Hi all,

For fun, I was using MAD to 'MP3ize' ScummVM (I will let people unaware of what it is to research it on Google :-) ) to reduce the size used by the sound effect data files.

For that, I am using the code attached to this mail (extracted from the ScummVM code for ease of debug). If you want to test this on a Linux box, just compile it and do NOT forget to redirect STDERR to a file (as it will output the 'raw' samples there).

When playing the MP3 you can find here : http://www.bbrox.org/debug_002.mp3 with MadPlay, it works perfectly. Whereas with my small tool, it almost works but there are a lot of garbade noises added (some sort of clicks, but at a low frequency).

I have already used MAD in my movie player, and (as far as I know), I did exactly the same sort of processing there (and in my movie player it works).

So what did I do wrong :-) ? I need another pair (pairs ?) of eyes because it's now been one day that I look at this and I still cannot find what I did wrong.

Lionel (dreading to find THE obvious bug 2 seconds after pressing the 's'(end) key :-) )
