chromium ungoogled complaining about libFLAC library

..and chromium ungoogled works now after today's update

I got the same problem with MKVToolNix. The latest version (from Slackers) seems to be dependent on libFLAC.so.8 as well as libFLAC.so.12.
Waiting for the compat version, until then a symlink will do.

Does anybody know why Chromium needs the FLAC libraries at all ? There's not a lot of media on the internet that uses the FLAC codec I think.

Ah, I guess it's for Chrome OS or Chromium OS, it's needs to be able to play that kind of files.

Recompiling audacity (which is on slackbuilds.org) on current will be against libFLAC-12 and resolves any of the audacity problems mentioned, at least at my end.

What compat version? Contrary to what Markus Wiesner guessed in his post above I don't think that AlienBob will provide one, since he has chosen another solution för his chromium packages.

I just rebuilt mkvtoolnix (latest version 72.0) using the SBo script after just changing version number. Runs fine.

I'm just using an older version of MKVToolNix now. Not building myself at the moment. Everything works with flac-1.4.2-x86_64, apart from MKVToolNix 72.0 complaining about libFLAC.so.8.

I notice AlienBOB's audacity package also seems to suffer from the FLAC issue, though.

Heads Up ... alienbob released an update for audacity yesterday morning.
