Bug report: Playing wma files... inc. the solution!

Hi,

as seen before, I was having a problem with playing .wma files on gentoo. Following is all the information:

Changes to make it work:

Index: decoder_plugins/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.c
===================================================================

< int data_size;
236a236
> int data_size = sizeof(avbuf);
279c279
< len = avcodec_decode_audio (data->enc, (int16_t *)avbuf,
---
> len = avcodec_decode_audio2 (data->enc, (int16_t *)avbuf,


As it seems, the latest (or at least the version I have) version of ffmpeg doesn't have the avcodec_decode_audio function anymore, but a version avcodec_decode_audio2, which must be called with the data_size argument preset to the buffer size.

This way it works perfectly for me! I didn't find out since what version the original function isn't available anymore, so maybe there is the need for an ifdef depending on the ffmpeg version one has...

regards,
