[MPlayer-users] MPlayer Bug Report: Truespeech Codec Issue

[Andrew Smith]

Hi,
	
I'm running into a problem using MPlayer to decode Truespeech audio samples and I'm uploading a sample file that demonstrates the problem.  This particular
sample was obtained from DSPG, the authors of the Truespeech codec.  More 
samples are available on their internet website:

	http://www.dspg.com/samples/85/a6.wav

The files I uploaded are:
	truespeech_a5.wav	# sample audio file
	truespeech_a5.txt	# problem description
	truespeech_a5.log	# more verbose output log

I've tried the latest CVS build (3/12/2003) of MPlayer, the latest stable
release, and a RedHat RPM.  All three encounter the same problem.  I checked
the known bugs list and codec documentation and haven't seen any reports
of this problem.  I did find an MPlayer Users-List post from November/02
that reported a similar problem.  The user in question didn't report
a resolution.

Software versions I'm using are:

	RedHat 8 (default kernel 2.4.18-3)
	gcc 3.2
	libc 2.2.93
	ld 2.13.90.0.2 
	as 2.13.90.0.2 

Hardware is very straightforward (make is Dell Dimension 4100):
	
	PIII 1GHz
	512MB RAM
	Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 (rev 0a)
	
I've tried several different commands, all of them encounter the same problem:

	mplayer <filename>
	mplayer -v <filename>
	mplayer -ac truespeech <filename>

Other audio and video codecs are working fine, this problem seems specific
to Truespeech samples.  I've tested these samples on win32 and they work
fine using media player or DSPG's player.

Please let me know if I need to provide anything else.  

Thanks for any help!! :-)
