+ 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).
