Comment 14 for bug 267399

I'm using Kubuntu Intrepid 2.6.27-9-generic x86_64 and LAME 64bits version 3.98

When using audiocd:/ in Dolphin or Konqueror I was getting the white noise problem. I looked at what parameters were being passed to lame and the -x switch was included, telling lame to use big-endian byte order on my little-endian system.

As a crude hack to resolve this I renamed /usr/bin/lame to lame-actual and saved a new script as /usr/bin/lame. The new script contained:

lame-actual --big-endian -x "$@"

this ensures lame always operates in little-endian mode. (Set big-endian and then swap it). Another -x is passed in "$@" but this is ignored.

Using audiocd:/ now works, and k3b works with the wave header and swap byte order options.
Hopefully the upstream developers will get this sorted in 4.2.
