soundconverter crashes on batch everytime

[Brett Alton]

Binary package hint: soundconverter

No matter how I run soundconverter on the command line, whether I simply run it with '-b' or '-b < $file' ($file can be either seperated by spaces or newlines), soundconverter crashes.

$ soundconverter -b

It fails with soundconverter 1.2.0 was well (installed from Intrepid in Hardy):

I don't reproduce in 1.3.1, but I commited a fix in svn anyway since it was a trivial change.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package soundconverter - 1.3.2-0ubuntu1
