DiskSample 0.58

Hello, a new version of the DiskSample player module is available from:

Source, documentation, and the DiskCvrt file to WAVE convertor is available from:

The release notes:

Version 0.58, 2023-05-27

Changes:

Metadata, parse APETAGEX metadata.
Metadata, parse some ID3v2 tags (when no unsynchronisation or decompression is required).
DiskCvrt, save to WAVE file:
- use bits per sample specified (PCM, FLAC) instead of always 16-bit samples.
- add WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE if more than 2 channels (cf. channel layout) or if valid bits per sample does not match bits per sample (multiple of 8 bits).
- when possible add available metadata (title, …) to the WAVE file.

Bugs Fixes:

Stream, enlarge file loading chunk size for very large bit rates (ex: 24-bit at 192KHz with 8 channels) to avoid input buffer starvation (which can still occur if the input buffer itself is too small).
Stream, fix spurious bitrates and durations while streaming.
DiskCvrt, don’t create output file if file can’t be decoded.
AAC, fix multi-channel mapping when saving as WAV file.
AAC, synchronized with latest libfaad2.
AAC, fix some confusing error reporting from libfaad2.
AAC, add some extra channel configurations.
AAC, libfaad2 has a faulty fixed point drc_decode() implementation.
AAC, add/move a few huffman table offset checks in libfaad2.
AAC, libfaad2 incorrectly assumes fill element (with sbr) imediatedly follows SCE/CPE element. Split SCE/CPE element decoding and reconstruction, remove special handling of fill element from the decoding and delay reconstruction till new element/end of frame. Now can play Fronhaufer’s test file ‘7.1auditionOutLeader_v2_rtb.mp4’.
FLAC, corrected 5.0, 5.1 WAVE mappings.
FLAC, added 6.1 and 7.1 support.
FLAC, fix incorrect position reported (occurs on loop on track, small total size and 4MB output buffers).
FLAC, fix decoder sometimes doing nothing after a position change.
FLAC, fix looping/seeking issues in the absence of seek table.
FLAC, skip too large seek table instead of reporting the memory allocation error.
FLAC, fix failing to parse vorbis comments when large info like cue sheet is present.
FLAC, provide minimal output buffer size to ensure that we can play file if the output buffer configuration is too small.
FLAC, change bit reading function limit from 24-bit to 32-bit to cope with large residues on some of the conformance test files.
WAVE, was skipping metadata with a single character (like a track number).
WAVE, now read metadata located at the end of the file.
