[LAU] Flac and Xine.

[J M Needham]

Hi,

If this is inappropriate for this list then let me know. Basically
anything running using xine as a backend, as well as xmms, only plays
some of my flac files. Many it won't play. I've just installed the patch
 libxine-main1_1.1.1+ubuntu2-7.2+patch1_i386.deb but to do it I had to
uninstall libexine1 first, then reinstall everything else (by that I mean
amarok and kmplayer) but that also installed libxine1 as well, but I don't
know if that has incorporated the patch or just overwritten it.

Amarok still does not play many of my flacs. Juk however does play _all my
flacs, and I've tried to find out what it's using but I've been unable to.
Due to personal preferance I dislike juk.

There are therefore 2 things going on here. What's the difference between
the flac files that xine-backended stuff can play and those it can't, and
why can juk play them and why can't xine? And have I installed thepatch
adn how can I tell?

Apologies if this is all dumbass. Tell me which fm to rt if I need to.
