Support OGA files.

[Tuomo Sipola]

When trying to load track in the Open file dialog Mixxx finds mp3 and ogg files but not files ending with oga. The oga extension is just an alternative for ogg audio. Thus, adding support for this should be just adding one extension to the list of detected audio file extensions.

Fix committed in r2555 of the 1.7 branch.

Wait, what was your fix for this?
http://wiki.xiph.org/MIME_Types_and_File_Extensions#.oga_-_audio.2Fogg

Read that very carefully. "Applications supporting .oga, .ogv SHOULD support decoding from muxed Ogg streams". We support .ogg files, which according to the specification are Vorbis I encoded only. We do not currently support muxed Ogg streams, so we don't support .oga.

Can you please revert the change?

Thanks,
Albert

Hey Tuomo, Sean,

Albert is right -- it's not as simple as adding an additional extension to load. oga files are actually different from ogg files. We can't work around this because apparently libvorbis cannot tell that an oga is not loadable by libvorbisfile, and the library enters an infinite loop if it tries to seek through an .oga file that is a muxed Ogg stream.

I'll revert the change. We can re-open this bug as a task to implement oga/ogv/ogx support.

Reverted in 1.7 and trunk. Should we mark as "won't fix" in 1.7?

Thanks. Yeah, mark as won't fix or wishlist, though I think this is
very very low priority since we've only ever had 1 feature request for
it....

[Sean M. Pappalardo (pegasus-renegadetech)]

ok, marked at "won't fix" since it's quite likely not going to happen in 1.7.
