Title:
  ogg123 buffer write failed writing to FIFO

Status in vorbis-tools package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: vorbis-tools

  I use mediatomb (the official Ubuntu package) as a UPnP server.  My
  music files are stored as flacs, which my player can't read so I use
  mediatomb's transcoding feature which calls ogg123 -d wav -f xxxx
  some_music.flac

  mediatomb sets up xxxx as a FIFO and reads the transcoded music from
  that.  It used to work fine on Hardy but now I've upgraded to Intrepid
  the music will cut out after 15 seconds.

  If I transcode the file directly using ogg123 (e.g. ogg123 -d wav -f
  some_music.wav some_music.flac it works fine.  If however I try

  mkfifo /tmp/test

  ogg123 -d wav -d /tmp/test some_music.flac

  and then use e.g. vlc in another terminal to read the transcoded data
  from /tmp/test

  ogg123 will hang until vlc starts reading from the FIFO then fail with
  "error. buffer write failed".  So mediatomb is not part of the
  problem.

  I note that ogg123 changed from 0.11.1 to 0.12.0 as part of the
  upgrade to Intrepid.  For now I've switched to transcoding using
  mplayer (which is slower to start up) as a workaround.  (See
  https://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=2980305&forum_id=440751
  )

  Thanks,
  James.
