+</CENTER>
+<P>
+ Before even attempting to report a bug in libsndfile please make sure you have
+ read the
+ <A HREF="FAQ.html">Frequently Asked Questions</A>.
+ If you are having a problem writing code using libsndfile make sure you read
+ the
+ <A HREF="api.html">Application Programming Interface</A>
+ documentation.
+</P>
+<P>
+ That said, I am interested in finding and fixing all genuine bugs in libsndfile.
+ Bugs I want to fix include any of the following problems (and probably others) :
+</P>
+ <UL>
+ <LI> Compilation problems on new platforms.
+ <LI> Errors being detected during the `make check' process.
+ <LI> Segmentation faults occuring inside libsndfile.
+ <LI> libsndfile hanging when opening a file.
+ <LI> Supported sound file types being incorrectly read or written.
+ <LI> Omissions, errors or spelling mistakes in the documentation.
+ </UL>
+
+<P>
+ When submitting a bug report you must include :
+</P>
+ <UL>
+ <LI> Your system (CPU and memory size should be enough).
+ <LI> The operating system you are using.
+ <LI> Whether you are using a package provided by your distribution or you
+ compiled it youself.
+ <LI> If you compiled it yourself, the compiler you are using. (Also make
+ sure to run 'make check'.)
+ <LI> A description of the problem.
+ <LI> Information generated by the sndfile-info program (see next paragraph).
+ <LI> If you are having problems with sndfile-play and ALSA on Linux, I will
+ need information about your kernel, ALSA version, compiler version,
+ whether you compiled the kernel/ALSA your self or installed from a
+ package etc.
+ </UL>
+
+<P>
+ If libsndfile compiles and installs correctly but has difficulty reading a particular
+ file or type of file you should run the <B>sndfile-info</B> program (from the examples
+ directory of the libsndfile distribution) on the file. See
+ <A HREF="sndfile_info.html">here</A>
+ for an example of the use of the <B>sndfile-info</B> program.
+</P>
+<P>
+ Please do not send me a sound file which fails to open under libsndfile unless I
+ specifically ask you to. The above information should usually suffice for most
+ problems.
+</P>
+<P>
+ Once you have the above information you should email it to one of the
+ <A HREF="lists.html">mailing lists</a>
+ (posting to these lists is limited to the list subscribers).
