[Bug 442833] [NEW] faac encodes large files with incorrect length

[Eric Pernice]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: faac

Very long audio files ( > 13 hours, 15 minutes, 21 seconds) encoded by
faac do not display correct length information during playback.  All
files longer than said length show the length as 13:15:21, but continue
to play to completion (past the indicated end of the track).  This
behaviour has been verified on both VLC and an Apple iPod.  This is
problematic because seeking through the track past the 13:15:21 mark is
not possible.

Verified on numerous audio files, with the following usage:

faac -R 44100 -B 16 -C 1 -w -q 80 --track "1" --genre "Spoken Word" -X
--year "2009" --artist "author" --album "title" --title "title" -o
"temp.m4b" "temp.pcm"

where temp.pcm was created by:

mplayer -vc null -vo null -ao pcm:nowaveheader:fast:file=temp.pcm
temp.mp3

temp.pcm and temp.mp3 were both verified to have the correct length.
