Plaympeg not playing MP3's?

plaympeg from smpeg 0.3.2 doesn’t like my MP3’s anymore… For example:

20/home/kendrick/mp3s>plaympeg return_of_atari.mp3
return_of_atari.mp3: Unable to find MPEG start code
21/home/kendrick/mp3s>

It played them fine in earlier versions.

I configured smpeg with “–use-sdl-mixer” (or whatever that switch is),
but I did that with an earlier version, too, and it worked.

Sometimes I get a different error:

21/home/kendrick/mp3s>plaympeg segadreamcast_sukz_atari_f.mp3
segadreamcast_sukz_atari_f.mp3: No audio/video stream found in MPEG
22/home/kendrick/mp3s>

But mpg123 works fine!

Yeah, it’s a bug introduced by the RIFF file handling added in the last
version. We have that fixed internally, and fixed the mono MP3 bug, we’re
just waiting on the last problem which manifests itself as warbling in MP3
files on big-endian systems. Then when that is fixed, we’ll release an
"all bugs gone" release of SMPEG. :slight_smile:

See ya!

Thanks! (Sorry if I missed a posting about the bug earlier… I’ve been
skimming a lot of my mailing lists lately. :slight_smile: )
