</CENTER>
<P>
Before even attempting to report a bug in libsndfile please make sure you have
read all the documentation, especially the
<A HREF="api.html">Application Programming Interface</A>
docs and the
<A HREF="FAQ.html">Frequently Asked Questions</A>.
</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> the operating system you are using
<LI> the compiler you are using
<LI> a description of the problem
<LI> information generated by the sndfile-info program (see next paragraph)
</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>
