[Swftools-common] swfc silently not embedding .wav

[Pablo Rodríguez]

Hi Matthias,

I’m experiencing a really weird issue with a presentation I’m updating
with swftools.

The .sc file is fine and it contains a line similar to:

    .sound audio "audio-file.wav"

If I generate the file, swfc doesn’t complain (and it takes the time to
compress the sound file [over 900MB]), the audio seems to be embedded in
the final presentation, but it isn’t.

If I replace the line above with:

    .sound audio "audio-file.wav"

the sound file gets embedded on the .swf file.

The only difference in both files is (with "swfdump -D"):

My guess is something similar to this: lame compresses the sound and
Fedora 19 doesn’t allow swfc to embed (to read) the file in the output
.swf file (I experienced something similar with ConTeXt.)

Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t see other way to explain it.

In which directory does swfc store the temporary copy of generated .mp3
file?

Many thanks for your help,


Pablo
