Indeed, these MD5 can be computed with avconv.

$ ln -s /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
$ flac Front_Center.wav
$ metaflac --show-md5sum Front_Center.flac
e63509859133f0e08c8e43b5a1d183bb
$ avconv -i Front_Center.wav -map 0:a -f md5 - 2>&1 | grep MD5
MD5=e63509859133f0e08c8e43b5a1d183bb

For mp3 & ogg files there is fpcalc from libchromaprint-tools
that computes a fingerprint.


speech1.clf & speech2.clf uses a custom container with a one-off
encoding program,
as does monster.sof in tentacle.yaml :-( :

Fixed for now, I had an other game with a /directx/ folder full of .cab's

They are translations packs, I guess an english
speaking user don't want to download 100mb of translations;

This can be handled in the language detection-code.

... without fixing this bug, maybe a solution is making GDP
ask interactive questions like apt-get or a checkbox in a gui.

Ok thanks
