Summary: can't deal with many WAV files, e.g., made on S1MP3s

Initial Comment:
Attached is an example of a WAV file that lame can't deal
with, -x or not.

We see
Warning: corrupt or unsupported WAVE format
buried amongst the messages.

Instead of bombing out, lame continues, and even returns 0
to the shell's $? variable.

(This WAV was made on an S1MP3 unit.)

Sn> Are you using a mirror of Christian Marillat's repository?
Ah, and so it is.
$ grep ^deb /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://linux.cdpa.nsysu.edu.tw/debian sid main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.tw.debian.org/debian-multimedia/ unstable main
I'll submitted a apt-cache bug about that: "apt-cache policy should not
assume single directory1"<--oops
Sn> Anyway, I can give you some instructions on how to compile the
package, if you wish.
Too involved. Anyway, tell me at [hidden email] lots of tips how
to make more room on my S1MP3 player via lame squeezing. P.S., see my
http://wiki.s1mp3.org/S1mp3ls -- On GNU/Linux List S1MP3 files in the same
native order as seen in its LCD window.

Which kind of repository is this?

Are you using a mirror of Christian Marillat's repository? Debian doesn't
allow lame on the distribution for the same reasons that the lame project
doesn't provide binaries...

Anyway, I can give you some instructions on how to compile the package, if
you wish.

Regards, Rogério Brito.

I don't go deeper than apt-get. OK, thanks.

This is already implemented in newer versions of lame, via the libsndfile
library for reading many types of contents.

I, BTW, also have an S1MP3 device and the file that you attached is an MS
WAV IMA ADPCM file. I use this to record my talks and everything goes
fine.

If you use a Debian-based (like Ubuntu) distribution (I see that you are
using something like a Unix, since you mentioned the $? variable of the
shell), you can grab the CVS HEAD of lame and compile a brand-new package
that will be able to compress the files that you have. You will be pleased
with the results. See this:
