Bug Description

Binary package hint: sound-juicer

I tried to use this preset (created with gnome-audio-profiles-properties):

audio/x-raw-float,rate=44100,channels=2 ! vorbisenc name=enc quality=10 ! oggmux

I noticed that the size of the produced file didn't change when changing the quality of the encoding.
I launched sound-juicer through a console an it says:

(sound-juicer:7146): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: value "10,000000" of type `gfloat' is invalid or out of range for property `quality' of type `gfloat'

I found nothing suspicious in the profile's keys in gconf

Thank you for your bug. The quality is a number < 1, that's not a bug rather an incorrect usage

OK so, I think oggenc's man page contains a mismatch:
I found in it:

-q n, --quality=n
Sets encoding quality to n, between -1 (very low) and 10 (very quality level of 3. Fractional quality levels such as 2.5 are appropriate bitrate based on your desired quality level.

and an example:

Specifying quality rather than bitrate (to a very high quality mode):
oggenc infile.wav -q 6 -o out.ogg

Do you agree or I am wrong again??

If there is a specific quality setting for sound juicer / gnome-audio-profiles-properties that is different that oggenc's, it would be a good idea to put some help or to use the same quality settings.

sound-juicer is not using oggenc but gstreamer, you can use "gst-inspect vorbisenc" and look at the quality description there
