[gentoo-user] moc on gentoo give me strange sound

[Xi Shen]

Hi,

I have just emerged moc, and was trying to play a mp3 music which
works fine on windows. But on my gentoo, it gives me some strange
sound. It looks like moc is not using the correct codec. How can I fix
this?

Did you create the mp3 yourself or download it? Are you sure it's not  
DRM'd?

I'm not familiar with moc - you might try mplayer to see if it works,  
and also something like `mplayer -vo null -ao null --identify`.

Stroller.

I d/l it by BT, so I do not think it is DRM'd. And I can enjoy that
mp3 file at windows.

MSWindows industrialised DRM on behalf of the music and film production 
industries, so you can't compare that with OSS.  I think Stroller was 
over-enthusiastic with the dashes:  try -identify with one "-" only, or 
alternative for maximum verbosity try:

-msglevel identify=6

HTH.

I think anything I got by BT is copy free, isn't it?
anyway, i have copied them a lot to my friend.

Does it have that problem with all mp3 files, or just this one?  If you 
try to emerge moc with the "ffmpeg" USE flag set and the "mad" flag 
unset, does it still happen?

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: moc on gentoo give me strange sound

[Xi Shen]

yes, the problem exists to all mp3 files.

i will try your USE flags, thanks.
