ape files are not being converted

[Gregory House]

soundconverter fails to convert an .ape file to anything. the console output says:
(soundconverter:6548): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: _gst_util_uint64_scale: assertion `denom != 0' failed
any other soft that interferes with gstreamer libs works just fine.

Can you detail the version of soundconverter and gstreamer please?

[Gregory House (bronetemkinponosec)]

I've tried using soundconverter both 2.0.2 from mint repositories and 2.0.4 from sources from official cite, both are making the same mistake. both versions are using gstreamer0.10 - based libraries, as far as I refer to "apt-cache show soundconverter" output. these versions are indeed have been installed before apt could have installed soundconverter, and all the depencies have been solved.

Works here with 2.0.4 including the recent patch-o-mania, however, and gstreamer-ffmpeg. Hence the pipeline that is used, is different from Soundconverter 2.0.2 and 2.0.4 unpatched:

gst-lauch-0.10 giosrc location="file:///home/personal/Music/test/ape/01.ape" name=src ! decodebin name=decoder ! audiorate ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! vorbisenc quality=0.6 ! oggmux ! giosink location="file:///home/ms18/tmp/01.ogg"
