Bug#672987: transcode: tcdemux stops on zero-filled blocks

[Philipp Marek]

Package: transcode
Version: 4:1.1.7-0.4
Severity: normal

JFI: the package I'm using is from debian-multimedia.org.

When tcdemux encounters a zero-filled block (eg. because dvdbackup couldn't
read a sector) it spits out a warning and stops, cutting any transformation:

    [demuxer.c] warning: (pid=1854) '0x00000000' not yet supported


An strace shows this:
  execve("/usr/bin/tcdemux", ["tcdemux", "-a", "0", "-x",
    "ac3", "-S", "0", "-M", "1", "-d", "0"], [/* 47 vars */]) = 0
  ...
  read(0, "\0\0\1\272DGL\205\245y\1\211\303\370\0\0\1\340\7\354\201\0\0004\1\370\10K(\17\266\3"..., 2048) = 2048
  read(0, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 2048) = 2048
  write(2, "[\33[31;1mdemuxer.c\33[0m]\33[33;1m wa"..., 85)  = 85
  exit_group(0)     = ?


Input is coming from a "tccat" command here.


tcdemux should ignore zero-filled blocks (like vlc, mplayer, and others do),
and do its best to continue.
