[Pkg-mpd-maintainers] Bug#728667: mpd: fails to play mp3 files or streams if volume_normalization is set to "yes" in mpdconf

[Emmanouil Maroudas]

Package: mpd
Version: 0.18-1
Severity: normal

I can reproduce this issue with the following commands:

$ mpd
$ ncmpcpp play
$ mpd --kill
$ cat .mpd/log
Nov 04 00:44 : client: [0] opened from 127.0.0.1:40215
Nov 04 00:44 : chain_filter: Failed to open filter for "My ALSA Device" [alsa]: Audio format not supported by filter 'normalize': 44100:24:2
Nov 04 00:44 : output: Failed to open audio output
Nov 04 00:44 : client: [0] closed

The previous version (0.17.5-1) didn't had this issue.
Disabling volume_normalization everything works fine.
My audio output configuration is this below.

audio_output {
        type            "alsa"
        name            "My ALSA Device"
#       device          "hw:0,0"        # optional
#       format          "44100:16:2"    # optional
#       mixer_type      "hardware"      # optional
#       mixer_device    "default"       # optional
#       mixer_control   "PCM"           # optional
#       mixer_index     "0"             # optional
}
