Description Vidur Apparao 2004-11-03 14:00:28 UTC

Trying to transcode a remote WMA or Ogg stream to MP3 using LAME does not work
on Windows.

On Windows, we use a utility call socketwrapper.exe to interface with the
transcoding application. This utility is used to do bidirectional IPC with the
application. It takes a command line that is used to invoke the transcoding
application and uses the Windows system call CreateProcess to create it. This
does not work when the command line contains a pipe operator, as it does for
transcoding through LAME.

This can be fixed only if socketwrapper correctly deals with piping.

Fixed on 11/3/04 by making socketwrapper deal with the pipe operator.

There are 536 bugs in the database with targets of '---' that were fixed prior to new year 2006.  I am setting them to targets of 6.2.1 to keep them from showing up in my queries.
