Subject: /usr/bin/oggdec: oggdec manpage error: oggdec - doesn't write to stdout

Date: Thu, 05 Aug 2004 18:29:16 +0200

Package: vorbis-tools
Version: 1.0.1-1
Severity: minor
File: /usr/bin/oggdec

The man page says:

       If the input file is specified as ‐ , then oggdec will read
       from stdin, and write to stdout unless an output filename is
       specified.

This doesn't seem to be true. It writes to "-.wav" if no filename is
specified, e.g. for

oggdec - < foo.ogg

Thanks for reporting this issue!

I think it's the "oggdec" executable that needs fixing rather than the 
documentation. Writing to "-.wav" is probably a quite undesired behavior 
for most users. Will look into it...

Cheers,
Martin

Dear Reuben,

I've fixed this by adjusting oggdec's behavior to the one specified in 
the man page (instead of adjusting the information in the man page). I 
think that's the behavior that most users would expect. A trivial code 
change did the trick.

New behavior:

/
| mast@biene-maja$ cat hogans-heroes.ogg | oggdec - | wc -c
| oggdec from vorbis-tools 1.4.0
| 4321342
| mast@biene-maja$ cat hogans-heroes.ogg | oggdec - -o - | wc -c
| oggdec from vorbis-tools 1.4.0
| 4321342
| mast@biene-maja$ cat hogans-heroes.ogg | oggdec - -o hogans-heroes.wav 
&& wc -c hogans-heroes.wav
| oggdec from vorbis-tools 1.4.0
| 4321342 hogans-heroes.wav
| mast@biene-maja$ rm hogans-heroes.wav
| mast@biene-maja$ oggdec hogans-heroes.ogg && wc -c hogans-heroes.wav
| oggdec from vorbis-tools 1.4.0
| Decoding "hogans-heroes.ogg" to "hogans-heroes.wav"
|     [100,0%]
| 4321342 hogans-heroes.wav
\

Cheers,
Martin
