<P>
Before even attempting to report a bug in libsndfile please make sure you have
read the
<A HREF="FAQ.html">Frequently Asked Questions</A>.
If you are having a problem writing code using libsndfile make sure you read
the
<A HREF="api.html">Application Programming Interface</A>
documentation.
</P>
<P>
That said, I am interested in finding and fixing all genuine bugs in libsndfile.
Bugs I want to fix include any of the following problems (and probably others) :
</P>
<UL>
<LI> Compilation problems on new platforms.
<LI> Errors being detected during the `make check' process.
<LI> Segmentation faults occuring inside libsndfile.
<LI> libsndfile hanging when opening a file.
<LI> Supported sound file types being incorrectly read or written.
<LI> Omissions, errors or spelling mistakes in the documentation.
</UL>
<P>
When submitting a bug report you must include :
</P>
<UL>
<LI> Your system (CPU and memory size should be enough).
<LI> The operating system you are using.
<LI> Whether you are using a package provided by your distribution or you
compiled it youself.
<LI> If you compiled it yourself, the compiler you are using. (Also make
sure to run 'make check'.)
<LI> A description of the problem.
<LI> Information generated by the sndfile-info program (see next paragraph).
<LI> If you are having problems with sndfile-play and ALSA on Linux, I will
need information about your kernel, ALSA version, compiler version,
whether you compiled the kernel/ALSA your self or installed from a
package etc.
</UL>
<P>
If libsndfile compiles and installs correctly but has difficulty reading a particular
file or type of file you should run the <B>sndfile-info</B> program (from the examples
directory of the libsndfile distribution) on the file. See
<A HREF="sndfile_info.html">here</A>
for an example of the use of the <B>sndfile-info</B> program.
</P>
<P>
Please do not send me a sound file which fails to open under libsndfile unless I
specifically ask you to. The above information should usually suffice for most
problems.
</P>
<P>
Once you have the above information you should email it to one of the
<A HREF="lists.html">mailing lists</a>
(posting to these lists is limited to the list subscribers).
</P>
