i just made a post for trickster20-dev but i forgot to mention to wav's RIFF format. agh!

it sounds fseek is to wrap-up output to RIFF format. and, -f 2 switch is to stop that formatting and put just raw PCM data.

hi eyeryone,

today i msn'ed with miyagawa-san and he said that AAC decoder faad2
doesnot work well when it runs with output-to-stdout switch (-w). so
i just tried.

in short, current faad2 is totally broken when it's given -w.

> ./faad.exe -w a.m4a > a-stdout.wav
> ./faad.exe -o a-file.wav a.m4a
> diff a-stdout.wav a-file.wav
Files a-stdout.wav and a-file.wav differ
> ./faad.exe -o a-file-2.wav a.m4a
> diff a-file.wav a-file-2.wav
(no output)
>

i got and used a precompiled binary for win32 at here.
http://www.rarewares.org/aac.html

this is a bug of faad2 commandline frontend. it tries to fseek(3) on
stdout at close_audio_file in faad2/frontend/audio.c, when there is
not -f 2 switch.

> ./faad.exe -f 2 -o a-file-f2.wav a.m4a
> ./faad.exe -f 2 -w a.m4a > a-stdout-f2.wav
> diff a-file-f2.wav a-stdout-f2.wav
(no output)
>

to say worse i cannot figure out how to play the file made with -f 2.
i've just tried latest Windows Media Player, Real Player, QuickTime,
and foobar2000. they just gave me error dialogs. so i cannot say
giving -f 2 for faad2 with -w is a right way or not.

i'm sorry this is just a report and not a solution. maybe i would
write some patches for faad2 frontend.

both corners of my lips are just cracked. they pain me so much. this kind of illness is called "kohkakuen" in japanese. i just took the japanese-english dictionary and found it's called "perleche" in english. perl-ech-e, perl? ech! e. huh. just a fun.

http://www.ncemi.org/cse/cse0409.htm told me that i was wrong. i believed this perleche is happened by lack of nutrition such as vitamine. ah again, i was totally wrong. i'll go to a hospital.

very nice helms. fonts on the flag looks so attractive. maybe they are treasures kept carefully by the demo people from '60s or so. to add it's just a joke.

poster found at akihabara. hmm.

in front of the akihabara station there is a building filled with something like izakayas. you could see a coffee shop. and that's all. i couldn't easily see there are still no other, hm, general place, to eat or drink, especially for couples. ahem. ok. now i'm still not so bright to get something from this cirsumstance to put here.

i just got to know that Hagio, Moto is came from the same city i was born, Ohmuta-shi Fukuoka.

she Hagio, Moto is so popular as a part of so-called "24nen-gumi." they were the first mode of females wrote comics for girls, and opened up the market of shoujo-manga in japan.

i told she is one of the earliest persons who put shounen-ai mangas into the market with so much applause. a distinguishing of the genre shounen-ai mangas could be noted as, they are full of beautiful boys, with no female main characters, and represent romances among the the boys. note that they shounen-ai mangas are mainly written by females and read by females. this shounen-ai genre is named "boys-love" nowadays and still has big enthusiasm.

Hagio, Moto's popular works include The Poe Clan ("Poe no ichizoku") and The Heart of Thomas ("Thomas no shinzou"). i love the film Summer Holiday 1999 ("1999nen no natsuyasumi") which is based on the manga The Heart of Thomas. English musician Momus made the song inspired and named the same title as the film, which i also love.

(a chain runs Hagio, Moto -- the film Summer Holiday 1999 -- Momus -- kahimi karie -- me -- Ohmuta-shi Fukuoka -- then come to the head Hagio, Moto.)
