On my athlon gentoo box:
| Code: | joaander@fileserver joaander $ faac test.wav test.aac
<snipped header for brevity>
libfaac version 1.23.5 (Jul 4 2004)
Quantization quality: 100
Bandwidth: 16000 Hz
Object type: Low Complexity(MPEG-2) + M/S
Encoding test.wav to test.aac
frame | elapsed/estim | play/CPU | ETA
4763/4763 (100%)| 14.8/14.8 | 7.495 | 0.0
joaander@fileserver joaander $ faad test.aac
<snipped header for brevity>
test.aac file info:
ADTS, 110.597 sec, 115 kbps, 44100 Hz
---------------------
| Config: 2 Ch |

Decoding test.aac took: 1.89 sec. 58.52x real-time.

:(
I get exactly the same behavior with faad2-2.0-r2 (stable amd64) and faad2-2.0-rc3-r1 (~amd6). faadv2-1.1 would not compile. Also, i get exactly the same behavior after compiling with CFLAGS="". The xmms faad plugin is similarly broken and produces no output.
This is an otherwise stable system with 0 (other) problems so far (*knock on wood*).
| Code: | joaander@neutron joaander $ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 3.4.0 20040601 (Gentoo Linux 3.4.0-r6, ssp-3.4-2, pie-8.7.6.3)

Does anyone have any suggestions? I open to ways to get faad/xmms to work, or any other player that can play aac files. All other players i have tried that use faad as a decoder are broken. mpeg4ip, which i don't even know if it can play music files, wouldn't compile.

Wow, old post. Guess I should have marked it solved.
Anyway, for those who don't know, faad2 still doesn't work on amd64, despite my own pathetic attempt at a patch (look it up in bugs.gentoo.org). The CVS version at www.audiocoding.org works... except the xmms plugin skips the last 2 seconds of every track which makes it useless to me. Other nice programs like amarok which uses xine-lib for aac which uses faad2, of course don't work.
Hmm, maybe amarok linked to xine-lib using the cvs faad2 will not have the 2 second cutoff problem. Maybe its worth a faad2-cvs ebuild.
Anyways, as in the thread nutznboltz pointed out, mp4player from the mpeg4ip package works. |

Arrrgh. Have you tried rebuilding it? I've solved it and gotten the fix in portage if they haven't removed it again.

Hey, cool, you're right. Looks like some people picked up and got the patch to work after all. https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61528 |

Well, faad2-2.0-r7 works on the command line but not in xmms. I tried amarok with the default xine-lib decoder, but it just plays popping sounds. Turns out that xine-lib uses its own internal version of faad2 as an internal library (WTF is up with that? kinda defies the point of a shared library). So, i tried the ~amd64 gstreamer-faad plugin, and still no luck! On a whim, I changed the extension of the file from .m4a, which to my understanding is fairly common, to .aac and it works! (this appears to be a known extension issue with amarok). Time for some mass renaming.
So, good news for gstreamer based players. Still no good news for xine-lib players. The bug has already been submitted to xine: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1111791&group_id=9655&atid=109655 . Any bets on how many years before it gets fixed? |

Does this patch work with vlc or ffplay?
I've tried both -r7 and -r11, followed by recompiles of ffmpeg and vlc. I have the aac USE flag set, and I don't use crazy ricer CFLAGS.
For any given Quicktime/h.264/AAC file I try,
ffplay will decode h.264 video, but with no sound.
vlc will decode h.264 video, but will have broken sound. |
