Package: noatun
Version: KDE 2.2 beta1

Hello.

I have several CDs with mp3 files.
Unfortunately, files on CDs are named with .wav extension. But the actual 
audoi data is mp3, and mpg123 processes it correctly.

Noatun from KDE 2.1 (compiled from sources) used to play those files 
correctly.

Noatun from current KDE 2.2 (both compiled from sources and installed as 
binary debian packages) refuses to play the files.
There is no sound, and the following message appears in ~/.xsession-errors 
(this is where stdout of Xsession is redirected to):

Audio File Library: WAVE MPEG layer 3 data format is not supported [error 
0]

The same message appears if I try to play the file using artsplay.
Files play correctly (both by noatun and artsplay) if I rename them from 
*.wav to *.mp3

Seems that artsd/noatun decide about file format by the file name. Is that 
really correct ?..

Well, the problem may be workarounded by renaming or symlinking files, but 
IMHO these workarounds are ugly. Unix software should not depend on file 
name extensions, should it ?
