Description John Scudder 2008-12-18 07:39:35 UTC 
With 7.3r3476, audio playback of AIFFs fails.  The same AIFFs play fine through Boom/SB2/Receiver.  MP3s and AACs play OK through the Controller.

I've also noticed that the "Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me" podcast fails although again it plays fine through Boom/SB2/Receiver.  The URL for the podcast is http://www.npr.org/rss/podcast.php?id=35.  I haven't tried other podcasts.  The format of the podcast is MP3 64kbps CBR, nothing exotic.

When the AIFFs fail, there's moderately loud hiss playing as though the Controller is really trying, just not getting it right.  When the podcast fails, it's high-quality silence.

SqueezeCenter Version 7.3 - 24282

PLayback of AIFF fails. Complete SILENCE. 95% of my collection is AIFF so a little awkward
Comment 2 James Richardson 2008-12-22 11:17:13 UTC 
Can you please attach a sample file

Sample AIFF file

OK, here's a sample file confirmed not to play on my Controller (like all other AIFFs I've tried).

Have updated to 7.3.1 - 24372 and still not playing AIFF files

Comment 5 Bob 2008-12-23 13:19:56 UTC 
Also can not transcode AIFF for streaming, wither remotely or on SoftSqueeze.
Comment 6 Richard Titmuss 2009-01-06 04:16:52 UTC 
I've just tested this with the SqueezeCenter 7.4 and the latest version of SqueezePlay and it seems to be working.

Can QA please verify it works in 7.3.2.
Comment 7 Bob 2009-01-06 08:59:22 UTC 
I have done a 3rd reinstall and all is working. 
It seems to be related to having ANY extra software player added (itunes or softsqueeze) which use lame to encode at anything other than unlimited.
