**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Sep 11 03:00:01 2017 Sep 11 11:29:16 Question : is it only me, or does media player on N900 not support this format? https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:PDP-CH_-_National_Symphony_Orchestra_of_London_-_Stanford_Robinson,_conductor_-_The_Nutcracker_Suite,_Op._71_-_Arab_Dance_-_Tchaikovsky_-_Decca-k1143-ar9058.flac Sep 11 11:30:27 And yes, I do have flac files which play fine. But this flac file in particular, while tracked, doesn't agree to be played. Sep 11 11:33:55 you can always use mplayer -identify on it Sep 11 11:34:02 it will print you the params Sep 11 11:34:30 /me doesn't have mplayer Sep 11 11:34:35 then install it Sep 11 11:34:39 should be in repo Sep 11 11:35:06 Would mediainfo print the params? Sep 11 11:35:43 i dont know that program Sep 11 11:36:03 'file' command can identify few formats too Sep 11 11:36:35 Okay. Will try mplayer somewhen. So far, I only notice difference in versions of libflac (1.3.1 vs 1.2.1) Sep 11 11:37:14 you can also throw the file into oscp Sep 11 11:37:19 just for kicks Sep 11 11:40:16 Which parameters are most important? Is there a limit on playable bitrate? Sep 11 11:40:54 ID_AUDIO_RATE=192000 Sep 11 11:41:16 maybe your player cant handle 192khz ? Sep 11 11:41:58 anyway, oscp plays this file just fine Sep 11 11:42:00 :) Sep 11 11:42:31 No idea. It can handle 48khz in the other flac.... But 192 is quite a bit more than 48. Sep 11 11:42:56 well, if it doesnt support audio rate resampling, then yeah. might be the reason Sep 11 11:47:33 why would they have such an insane audio rate Sep 11 11:47:43 ;) Sep 11 11:47:48 because they can? Sep 11 11:48:14 material is noisy as hell anyway (could be vinyl rip) Sep 11 11:56:46 😎 Sep 11 18:31:23 I have a question which is not strictly related to maemo - it's about debuild. I tried to ask #debian and #devuan, but got no satisfactory answer (had an answer on #devuan but didnt' solve my problem). Let's think of a source package. I source it, and build it by debuild. Now I need to change a single bit in a single .cpp file. Is there a way to rebuild the package without building all sources from scratch? If I issue Sep 11 18:31:24 debuild -nc, this does not clean the working directory, but doesn't build the modified file either. Sep 11 18:33:29 Enrico_Menotti: I guess it is a matter of package's debain/rules Sep 11 18:34:00 what happens if you issue dpkg-buildpacage -rfakeroot -b -nc? Sep 11 18:34:27 hmm, a bad typo day :( Sep 11 18:35:29 Enrico_Menotti: what is the build system? autotools? plain makefile? Sep 11 18:36:12 There's a cmake around. I admit I'm very novel to it - I don't know how it works exactly. Sep 11 18:36:51 me neither, but I would focus on that one, as -nc leads to make, without doing make clean first Sep 11 18:38:25 dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -b -nc has the same effect of debuild -us -uc -b -nc. Sep 11 18:38:36 so if makefiles don;t track source files dependencies and modified times and whatever, then your modified file wouldn;t get rebuild. another option is that the whole source tree is copied in another "build" directory and when you change your source file in base directory, the copy remains the same Sep 11 18:39:23 Let me look. Sep 11 18:39:45 if both debbuild and dpkg-buildpackage behave the same, the it is a problem of make scripts, not debian packaging Sep 11 18:40:24 * freemangordon is afk Sep 11 18:41:41 Ok, so I should look at the make scripts and try to find out where the build of that specific file is triggered, right? Sep 11 18:42:56 dunno, but try it Sep 11 19:09:25 Oh, I think I did it. But it seems to be very package-specific. Sep 11 19:50:37 Yes, indeed I did it. My slight modification also seems to work. Quite happy. :) **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Sep 12 03:00:00 2017
