hi
I've got a mime type that works now. at character 1962, the Muser_alias
string identifies an audible audio file. How should I proceed now to get
my bug fixed? format a patch and attach it to the bug? Which I can do.
I'll also put my test.aa file into the tests folder or attach it hear
for someone else to do so if you guys want.
Thanks

hi all
I've got more info on audible .aa files. I can't find the magic number
for audible files anywhere in the files. The magic number (according to
the ffmpeg source code libavformat/aadec.c is 1469084982). I can't find
that anywhere, but I did find an alternative. Muser_alias followed by
the user the file was downloaded by. The Muser_alias is the unique
string. THe problem is, how do I determine the offset, so I can put it
in mime editor? One mroe question. Mime editor contains fields like big
endian, little endian, etc. I don't have any idea what this means and if
I select the wrong one, the files won't match and the mime type won't
work. Once I have this, where would I put it in the bug? I have a test
audible file which I'd be happy to attach to this email so someone with
the privilages can upload it to the tests in shared-mime-info.
Thanks
