Status for kid3/3.10.1-3

Patch Description Author Forwarded Bugs Origin Last update
01-tests-bigendian.diff Skip id3lib ID3v1 CLI test on big-endian architectures The audio properties (MPEG version/layer/samplerate/channel mode) reported by
the Id3libMetadata backend are obtained verbatim from id3lib via
ID3_Tag::GetMp3HeaderInfo(); kid3 does no header parsing of its own. id3lib's
MPEG frame-header parser mis-decodes the header on big-endian machines, so the
fixed test.mp3 (FF FB 50 C4 = MPEG 1 Layer 3 64 kbps 44100 Hz mono) is reported
as "MPEG 1 Layer 1 48000 Hz Stereo". The TagLib backend parses the same bytes
correctly, hence only the id3lib variant fails. Skip it on big-endian until the
defect is fixed in the id3lib3.8.3 source package.
