I'm in search for somebody who can give me feedback about whether the following builds of the audacious-plugins package succeed or fail at playing Musepack (.mpc) audio files:
Fedora 12: audacious-plugins-2.1-18.fc12 http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=141715
Fedora 11: audacious-plugins-1.5.1-18.fc11 http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=141710
Fedora 10: audacious-plugins-1.5.1-18.fc10 http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=141711
In particular, I'm interested in tests on x86_64, since playback works fine for me on i686. If the plugin fails, please start "audacious" within a terminal and send me the output it printed during the test.
If you have questions about how to download/install above builds, feel free to reply and ask.

How can I get/make a mpc file to test with ?

Hmmm, very good question. There used to be an encoder, but I couldn't find it with various Yum queries, and the Musepack SV8 upgrade is not available in Fedora [yet]:
So, here's a review request for "mppenc": https://bugzilla.redhat.com/539837

My tests, with a few mpc files that I have, gave positive results on F-12 x86_64. No issues. You can push them to testing if you have not done so already.

Works fine for me (i686).
 Fedora 10: audacious-plugins-1.5.1-18.fc10  http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=141711
Also works fine (x86_64).
The mpc file I tested with was created with mppenc, with no parameters other than the source wav name.
Perhaps the issue is encoding/compression parameter specific, or due to the particular compressor that made it ?

Great. Thanks for the testing.

Hah, and another success report for x86_64. That's good.

Yes, SV7 (StreamVersion7) is the only encoding that's currently understood by libmpcdec in Fedora. The issue with the plugin was that due to old cruft in its implementation (an extra decoding thread) it messed up the playback with symptoms like playing at fast-forward speed with heavy interruptions. That was reproducible on i686, too. The fix -- and the musepack plugin is not the only plugin that required such a fix -- works fine on i686, but the one person, who had pointed out problems, can't get it to play any files at all anymore. He doesn't get any debug output either. Not even the plugin's "play" function is called according to the missing debug output, which suggests that either the files (said to be SV7) are not recognised by the decoding library or there is another problem/side-effect on x86_64.

Thanks for the test. Basically, the worst that could have happened is that the plugin failed to play anything on x86_64 _actually_ while it simply refuses to fail on i686. ;)

Yes, this has been done meanwhile including a few more patches for unrelated issues.
