reassign 716613 libvorbisenc2
thanks



This test case actually triggers 2 bugs that are both related to the 
sampling rate of the input file being 0:

The first one being in libvorbis (including the most recent version 
1.3.4-1):

==29485== Invalid read of size 4
==29485==    at 0x50F62C2: _vp_psy_init
              (psy.c:308)
==29485==    by 0x50EE7AA: _vds_shared_init
              (block.c:225)
==29485==    by 0x50EEB9D: vorbis_analysis_init
              (block.c:298)
==29485==    by 0x409294: oe_encode
              (encode.c:357)
==29485==    by 0x403E8F: main
              (oggenc.c:431)
==29485==  Address 0x5e3189c is 4 bytes before
            a block of size 1,024 alloc'd
==29485==    at 0x4C2AB80: malloc
              (in /usr/lib/valgrind/vgpreload_
              memcheck-amd64-linux.so)
==29485==    by 0x50F609A: _vp_psy_init
              (psy.c:279)
==29485==    by 0x50EE7AA: _vds_shared_init
              (block.c:225)
==29485==    by 0x50EEB9D: vorbis_analysis_init
              (block.c:298)
==29485==    by 0x409294: oe_encode
              (encode.c:357)
==29485==    by 0x403E8F: main
              (oggenc.c:431)

The second one being in vorbis-tools:

==29485== Process terminating with default
            action of signal 8 (SIGFPE)
==29485==  Integer divide by zero
            at address 0x8031102BE
==29485==    at 0x409D22: final_statistics
              (encode.c:752)
==29485==    by 0x4099AA: oe_encode
              (encode.c:697)
==29485==    by 0x403E8F: main
              (oggenc.c:431)

Neither software is prepared to handle the (useless) case of having an 
input with sampling rate 0. Instead of accessing invalid memory or 
producing a SIGFPE, they should both separately bail out thanks to a 
sanity check.

Reassigning this bug to libvorbis because that's the library where the 
change has more impact (and even fixing it only in libvorbis would avoid 
the crash), but both packages should be fixed up. Will provide patches soon.

Cheers,
Martin
