[Alsa-user] ac3dec does not recognize closing a pipe

[<Ste...@li...>]

Hi List,

I use ac3dec from the ALSA-TOOLS Modules as an output Programm for
dvdplayer and vdr (dvb software) ...

I detected that ac3dec does not recognize when the input pipe is closed.
What I mean is:

cat demo.ac3 | ac3dec -C -Dhw:0,2

works but after the file is finished the ac3dec doesn't stop. I have to
abort the program with ctrl-c.

cat demo.ac3 | ac3dec -C -Dhw:0,2
AC3 Stream 48.0 KHz 448 kbps
<CTRL-C>Aborted...
Speicherzugriffsfehler (core dumped)

Playing a file with "ac3dec -C -Dhw:0,2 demo.ac3" works as expected
But I need to use the programm as target for other programs

Greetings
Stefan
