Hi.
I'm using a KPlayObject to play an aiff file, on SuSE 8.1, KDE 3.1.1.
It sounds awful. I think maybe aRts is treating it as a raw
PCM or something, but really I have no idea.
KPlayObject *playobj = factory.createPlayObject("file:/whatever/SND10.aiff", true);
playobj->play();
I get the same problem when I run
$ noatun SND10.aiff
However if I run
$ sox SND10.aiff SND10.wav
sox: Do not support signed (2's complement) with 8-bit data. Forcing to unsigned
$ noatun SND10.wav
it sounds right.
The sample is at:
http://secure.dkstat.com/~leif/SND10.aiff
Why does the AIFF play incorrectly?
I tried searching kde-multimedia and the aRts mailing lists,
reading the docs, and browsing the CVS. Still haven't a clue.
Thanks,
Leif
