If you could do another couple of quick tests in your 1.3.13 Natty repo build, it would help us if others on Natty report problems exporting WAV: * http://www.gaclrecords.org.uk/freesound_tags_first.wav - this is your freesound file with all three metadata tags moved before the data (Audacity and l...

Yes, I am on amd64. I'll test those files tomorrow or this weekend for you.

Bug is still present in libsndfile 1.0.24 (built from scratch from mega-nerd's source tarball): [email protected]:~$ sndfile-info | grep Version Version : libsndfile-1.0.24 [email protected]:~$ sndfile-convert 20069__FreqMan__Bell_System_Ringer_Model_687A_8_70_.wav test.wav [email protected]:~$ ls -lh *.wav -rw-r--r-- 1...

Looks like the bug is in libsndfile 1.0.23 - on the Natty machine, I tried converting the original freesound wav, and ended up with an apparently untrapped crash and a 44-byte output file. [email protected]:~$ sndfile-convert 20069__FreqMan__Bell_System_Ringer_Model_687A_8_70_.wav test.wav [email protected]:~$ ls...

I know you said you didn't care, but - I opened the project in 1.3.12-beta (libsndfile 1.0.21) on my Lucid workstation. This time, I DID get the "orphaned blockfile[s]" message. After telling Audacity to delete the orphans, I exported to 16-bit PCM WAV with no errors. So, this is a new bug in either...

I can confirm that I do not get any "orphaned file" (or any other type) errors upon re-opening the project. Still on the same Ubuntu Natty workstation w/Audacity from stock repos. As soon as I get a chance I'll try playing with it on a stock Lucid workstation, and on a Windows 7 amd64 VM on the Luci...

Did you package the project before closing it? I'm sorry Gale; I don't have any idea what that means. I followed the steps I posted, exactly as I posted them - if you can explain what you mean by "packaging before closing", maybe I can answer? If I wasn't clear, I actually recreated the problem fro...

OK, that should rule out a problem in libsndfile itself then: my version is newer than yours. [email protected]:~$ dpkg -s libsndfile1 | grep Version Version: 1.0.23-1ubuntu0.1 We also already seem to know from the Windows users' reports that 1.2.x was not affected - so I guess the bug cropped up in 1.3.13...

I went ahead and crossposted to the Linux forum as well, since there doesn't seem to be a platform-agnostic forum. http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic ... =60424&e=0
