Bug#595104: vorbis-tools: oggdec borks output when writing to stdout

[Joao Paulo Pinharanda Magalhaes]

Package: vorbis-tools
Version: 1.4.0-1
Severity: important
Tags: upstream patch


When oggdec writes stdout, it borks the output wav with the version string.
oggdec --output - -- air.ogg > stdout.wav         # stdout.wav is broken (white noise appears)
oggdec --output air.wav air.ogg                   # air.wav is ok
oggdec --output - -- --quiet air.ogg > quiet.wav  # quiet.wav is ok

The problem was identified in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=748258 as oggdec writing the version string to stdout rather than stderr.
