- Before even attempting to report a bug in libsndfile please make sure you have
- read the
- Frequently Asked Questions.
- If you are having a problem writing code using libsndfile make sure you read
- the
- Application Programming Interface
- documentation.
-
-
- 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) :
-
-
-
Compilation problems on new platforms.
-
Errors being detected during the `make check' process.
-
Segmentation faults occuring inside libsndfile.
-
libsndfile hanging when opening a file.
-
Supported sound file types being incorrectly read or written.
-
Omissions, errors or spelling mistakes in the documentation.
-
-
-
- When submitting a bug report you must include :
-
-
-
Your system (CPU and memory size should be enough).
-
The operating system you are using.
-
Whether you are using a package provided by your distribution or you
- compiled it youself.
-
If you compiled it yourself, the compiler you are using. (Also make
- sure to run 'make check'.)
-
A description of the problem.
-
Information generated by the sndfile-info program (see next paragraph).
-
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.
-
-
-
- If libsndfile compiles and installs correctly but has difficulty reading a particular
- file or type of file you should run the sndfile-info program (from the examples
- directory of the libsndfile distribution) on the file. See
- here
- for an example of the use of the sndfile-info program.
-
-
- 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.
-
-
- Once you have the above information you should email it to one of the
- mailing lists
- (posting to these lists is limited to the list subscribers).
