Here are compressed IFF 8SVX stereo files. These files don't sound "clean" and
of course too fast - issue1427.

There is also availabe sourcecode of decoder and encoder:

I've done an analysis of this and found out that the decoder trys to interleave
stereo samples to packet buffer and not to the whole length of BODY chunk.

Fix will be pretty straight forward, I think...but I'm busy right now with
IFF-ILBM and IFF-ANIM, so please be patient.

Hi,

I confirm the analysis of Basty, IFF demuxer assumes a fixed packet size of 1024 for audio, which works fine for mono, but not for stereo audio, from what I can read from the xine sources (xine-lib/src/demuxers/demux_iff.c), which decodes the files fine, all left samples are stored at the beginning, right samples at the end of the file. I'll try to come with a solution soon.

BTW can you provide more stereo (compressed and uncompressed) samples?

Thanks for working on the fix.

Sorry, I have no more samples for test. IFF 8SVX stereo files are rare and I have only these files which I create myself with sox and wavepak. I think the best will be to apply the patch which fixes playback of the samples from issue 1427 and 1589 and in case I find any bugs with some random generated samples with amiga programs then I will create a bugreport.

BTW. seeking support would be great too, currently FFplay can't seek even uncompressed mono samples.

iff/8svx: redesign 8SVX demuxing and decoding for handling stereo samples correctly


Make the iff demuxer send the whole audio chunk to the decoder as a
single packet, move stereo interleaving from the iff demuxer to the
decoder, and introduce an 8svx_raw decoder which performs
stereo interleaving.


This is required for handling stereo data correctly, indeed samples
are stored like:
LLLLLL....RRRRRR


that is all left samples are at the beginning of the chunk, all right
samples at the end, so it is necessary to store and process the whole
buffer in order to decode each frame. Thus the decoder needs all the
audio chunk before it can return interleaved data.


Fix decoding of files 8svx_exp.iff and 8svx_fib.iff, fix trac issue #169.
