[gentoo-user] oggenc ogg flac files

[Florian Philipp]

Hi!

Can anyone confirm that it is not possible to transcode ogg-flac files
to ogg-vorbis although the necessary use flags are set (vorbis-tools
+flac; flac +ogg) and the man page says it's possible?

There seems to have been a bug about this in 2004 [1] but the patch is
long applied and I want to rule out every other possibility before
opening a new one.

Test Case:
1. emerge media-libs/flac with +ogg and media/sound/vorbis-tools with
+flac:
" USE="ogg,flac" emerge -av1 flac vorbis-tools "

2. Encode something to flac in an ogg container, for
example /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Noise.wav to /tmp/Noise.oga:
" flac --ogg /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Noise.wav -o /tmp/Noise.oga "

3. Try to transcode the oga-file to ogg-vorbis:
" oggenc /tmp/Noise.oga "

Transcoding normal flac-files is still possible.

Thanks in advance!
