Re: Ogg Vorbis files won't play on Linux after image embedded

[Bill Hammond <ka1ssr gmail com>]

Hi Tristan,

The problem only occurs when I add an image.

ogginfo produces the following...

Processing file "14 - I Left My Heart In San Francisco.ogg"...

New logical stream (#1, serial: 2462796c): type vorbis
Vorbis headers parsed for stream 1, information follows...
Version: 0
Vendor: Xiph.Org libVorbis I 20101101 (Schaufenugget)
Channels: 2
Rate: 44100

Nominal bitrate: 192.000000 kb/s
Upper bitrate not set
Lower bitrate not set
User comments section follows...
    TITLE=I Left My Heart in San Francisco
    ARTIST=101 Strings
    ALBUMARTIST=101 Strings
    TRACKNUMBER=14
    METADATA_BLOCK_PICTURE=[lots of random alphanumeric characters]

Negative or zero granulepos (-335) on Vorbis stream outside of headers. 
This file was created by a buggy encoder
WARNING: granulepos in stream 1 decreases from 9861 to 9688
Vorbis stream 1:
    Total data length: 4066833 bytes

Thanks!
