[foo-devel] bug when writing soundfile

[martin r. <fo...@ru...>]

dear developers again,

there seems to be a bug in foo regarding soundfiles at least in
foo-0.0.3 (might be thing which ramon discovered):

at least when creating 'aiff-files (the default), there no correct
header is written.  sndfile-play can play the file though, but with
alsaplayer: silencium.

sndfile-info reports a number of '0' frames in the file.

there is the possibility to tell libsndfile to update the header in
the soundfile after every write (not just when closing the file).  i
enabled that, but afterwards there are FOO_ERRORs when seeking (looks
like a negative seek).  perhaps that's the reason for the incorrect
header, but i am still wondering why this isn't reported as an error
without SFC_SET_UPDATE_HEADER_AUTO.

when switching to 'wav format, however, the headers seem to be
o.k. (but the seek error still exists when running with HEADER_AUTO).

unfortunetaly, i don't have the time to track that down now (next exam
on tuesday...), but it's scheduled...

bests,

martin
