Details

Description:

Currently some WMA files included in games (and played by Wine via gst/libav) cause audio glitches. One of the Wine developers have opened upstream bug report with samples and mode details.

The fix sent to the ffmpeg mailing, is fairly trivial (missing error handling) and works fine on my end.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
ffmpeg 2:4.4-4

* link to upstream bug report, if any
Bugreport: http://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/9358
Fix: https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2021-August/283493.html

Steps to reproduce:
- playback audio samples via ffplay from bug report
- observe the varying glitches
- patch ffmpeg, observe more MS-like output
This task depends upon

Upstream has merged an updated version of the patch. Namely:

The attached PKGBUILD.patch updates the PKGBUILD to make use of them

The ffmpeg ticket is closed, as a fix was added upstream.

The fix is now part of the current ffmpeg 5.0, so I think this task can be closed.

Yes the fixes have landed upstream. The main point of this bug report was to backport this on ffmpeg 4.4.
Seemingly there's no interest and ffmpeg4.4 is on its way out [1] feel free to close this.
