#93 Incompatible with sox 14.4.0?

[Anonymous]

I'm using version 0.8.4.

This program used to work fine for me, until three days ago, when I upgraded to sox 14.4.0.

Here's the printout on the terminal when I process a very simple 1 image, 1 audio file, e.g.:

Death.txt is simply:

Death.mp3:1
Death.jpg:audio

The command line is:

dvd-slideshow -flv -w -s 1280x720 "Death.txt"

[dvd-slideshow] ERROR line 2. You must have an audio track before a slide specifying 'audio'

I'll attach the resulting log as well, but it's less informative. I got more or less the same results using any other audio file.

The problem seemed to be line 2523 of the script. If I change it from:

soxi "$1" -D 1> "$tmpdir"/trash.txt

to

soxi -D "$1" 1> "$tmpdir"/trash.txt

Then I do get an output video, though I notice that sox throws warnings like:

sox WARN sox: Option `-2' is deprecated, use `-b 16' instead.
sox WARN sox: Option `-s' is deprecated, use `-e signed-integer' instead.

...during the process, which suggests that the scripts need to be updated to be compatible with the newest version of sox.

This issue is affecting me as well. On gentoo, for which there is no previous version of sox available.

Affecting me too with 0.8.4-1. Seems like something easy to fix.

Also experiencing this problem on Fedora 21 with dvd-slideshow 0.8.0-8 and sox 14.4.1-6
Works fine with sox 12.18.2 and -mp2 (ac3 fails).
Looks like that some sox options should be changed.
