Chris@40: Before even attempting to report a bug in libsndfile please make sure you have
Chris@40: read the
Chris@40: Frequently Asked Questions.
Chris@40: If you are having a problem writing code using libsndfile make sure you read
Chris@40: the
Chris@40: Application Programming Interface
Chris@40: documentation.
Chris@40:
Chris@40:
Chris@40: That said, I am interested in finding and fixing all genuine bugs in libsndfile.
Chris@40: Bugs I want to fix include any of the following problems (and probably others) :
Chris@40:
Chris@40:
Chris@40:
Compilation problems on new platforms.
Chris@40:
Errors being detected during the `make check' process.
Chris@40:
Supported sound file types being incorrectly read or written.
Chris@40:
Omissions, errors or spelling mistakes in the documentation.
Chris@40:
Chris@40:
Chris@40:
Chris@40: When submitting a bug report you must include :
Chris@40:
Chris@40:
Chris@40:
Your system (CPU and memory size should be enough).
Chris@40:
The operating system you are using.
Chris@40:
Whether you are using a package provided by your distribution or you
Chris@40: compiled it youself.
Chris@40:
If you compiled it yourself, the compiler you are using. (Also make
Chris@40: sure to run 'make check'.)
Chris@40:
A description of the problem.
Chris@40:
Information generated by the sndfile-info program (see next paragraph).
Chris@40:
If you are having problems with sndfile-play and ALSA on Linux, I will
Chris@40: need information about your kernel, ALSA version, compiler version,
Chris@40: whether you compiled the kernel/ALSA your self or installed from a
Chris@40: package etc.
Chris@40:
Chris@40:
Chris@40:
Chris@40: If libsndfile compiles and installs correctly but has difficulty reading a particular
Chris@40: file or type of file you should run the sndfile-info program (from the examples
Chris@40: directory of the libsndfile distribution) on the file. See
Chris@40: here
Chris@40: for an example of the use of the sndfile-info program.
Chris@40:
Chris@40:
Chris@40: Please do not send me a sound file which fails to open under libsndfile unless I
Chris@40: specifically ask you to. The above information should usually suffice for most
Chris@40: problems.
Chris@40:
Chris@40:
Chris@40: Once you have the above information you should submit a ticket on the libsnfile
Chris@40: github issue tracker.
