converting wma to ogg results in a very choppy sounding audio file

[Philip Peitsch]

Binary package hint: soundconverter

I used soundconverter to convert an unprotected wma file to a High Quality ogg file and ended up with a very choppy sounding ogg. This has been tested on 0.9.6-1 on Ubuntu Gutsy. I am using gstreamer0.10.6-0ubuntu4 plugins.

I can email the wma file and resulting ogg file if requested within the next two months or so. I won't post it up as it is taken from a CD and I'm not sure how much trouble I'd get in :-)

Downloaded a sample wma to test this issue. Plays fine as wma, but once converted to ogg vorbis, it's all choppy (tested in totem and vlc). Occurs on all vorbis bitrates. Flac, wav and mp3 are not affected. OggConvert experiences the same issue, but to a lesser extent (SoundConverter has pauses, whereas OggConvert has clicks). Used dir2ogg and there was no issue.

soundconverter 1.0.1-0ubuntu2
oggconvert 0.3.1-2ubuntu1
gstreamer0.10-plugins-good 0.10.7-3

This could be related to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=506557.
Anyway, it doesn't seem to be directly imputable to Oggconvert.
