strange error flushing buffer – solved

When trying to use some LAME libraries like the WAV2SWF from swftools I started gettin this error:

> strange error flushing buffer

The file was still generated but it did not work.

Here’s what I did to fix:

###Installed the latest version of swftools

This was done on Ubuntu but you can probably do almost the same thing on Mac OS X. I tried using `homebrew` but was not able to get a new enough version of the software.

Make sure you have `zlib`

sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev

Or

brew install zlib

Next check the [downloads page](http://swftools.org/download.html) and get the latest version of the software, something like:

cd /tmp
wget “http://swftools.org/swftools-2013-04-09-1007.tar.gz”
cd swftools-2013-04-09-1007
./configure
make

You can then install this if you want, but to test I just continued without installing:

cd src
./wav2swf ~/input.wav

this gave me another error:

Error: no mp3 soundstream support compiled in.

So to get around needing support for that you can just specify some additional parameter so it doesn’t have to detect them:

./wav2swf -d -s 44100 -o ~/test.swf ~/input.wav

And voila! it worked!

Additional parameters are:

Usage: wav2swf [-o filename] file.wav

-h , –help Print short help message and exit
-V , –version Print version info and exit
-o , –output Explicitly specify output file. (Otherwise, output will go to output.swf)
-r , –framerate Set file framerate to frames per second.
-s , –samplerate Set samplerate to frames per second (default: 11025).
-d , –definesound Generate a DefineSound tag instead of streaming sound.
-l , –loop n (Only used with -d)
-C , –cgi For use as CGI- prepend http header, write to stdout.
-S , –stop Stop the movie at frame 0
-E , –end Stop the movie at the end frame
-b , –bitrate Set mp3 bitrate to (default: 32)
-v , –verbose Be more verbose
