excerpt from an emailed bug report from Bertie Coopersmith
=======================
I have a problem with playing narrowband speex files (8-bit unsigned samples at
8KHz, mono) with sweep.
The same files play perfectly well under speexdec.
On commanding sweep with a speex argument, however, it only sometimes reports
a sampling rate of 8000Hz - and then it plays correctly. However, it randomly
reports the rate as 16KHz, 32KHz or even 64KHz instead of 8000Hz and it
accordingly attempts to play at double, quadruple speed etc. Attempting
resampling usually fails so when a rate other than 8000Hz is displayed in
the sweep window I immediately (i.e. before loading completes) abort and rerun.
Re-installing the latest libsamplerate library did not quite fix the problem
but I think It now comes up with the correct 8000Hz most of the time.
I think that this is a bug affecting only narrowband speex files, not 8KHz
wave files.
Details of my system:
i686
Slackware Linux 2.4.22
gcc 3.2.3
sweep-0.8.3, now also 0.9.0
In November last year I installed sweep-0.8.3 on a Dell laptop: Centrino,
Linux 2.4.31 with ALSA and it did not seem to suffer this problem.
