Description:

Sometimes converting a ripped wav file to flac fails with a floating point exception and abcde just sits there waiting for the flac file to appear.

/usr/bin/abcde: line 249: 6437 Floating point exception(core dumped) "$@" 1>&2

Yes, this is a bug in flac but there is a workaround for abcde (source: ubuntu launchpad#1219087). By adding the "--silent" flag to FLACOPTS the problem is avoided. The "solution" seems fine since abcde discards the flac encoding output anyway.

Additional info:
* package version(s): 2.5.4-6
* cdparanoia 10.2-5
* flac 1.3.0-3

Steps to reproduce:

Insert "De Kift - Biddonville" into your CD drive and run:

abcde -o flac 16
   abcde.patch (0.3 KiB)
This task depends upon

Found the problem and can confirm it is fixed in flac:

https://git.xiph.org/?p=flac.git;a=commit;h=9443151da38d25430f0683dfdcd7f6076ecabe0a

Unfortunately there is not flac release including this fix yet.
