Q:  What do I need MPlayer for?   
A:  MPlayer is used to decode WMA & RealAudio files to wav 
    so they can be converted.

    When downloading MPlayer be sure to get version >= 1.0pre7

Q:  When I try to start pacpl I get the error message:

    Can't locate Some/Audio/Codec.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
    /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.7/i486-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.7
    /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/i486-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7
    /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at ./pac line 33.

    BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./pac line 33.
    One or more DATA sections were not processed by Inline.

A:  Your missing Some::Audio::Codec (Or which ever module it displays)
    
    Solution:  Either install the missing module, or edit
               /etc/pacpl/pacpl.conf and set USETAGS to 0

Q:  When I try to start pacpl, I get the error message:
  
    Pac Error: Could not find '/opt/kde/bin/kdialog'
    Set KPOPUP to 0 in pac.conf or check your installation

    (Or some variation)

A:  In pac.conf there is an option called KDIALOG.  By default
    this variable points to '/opt/kde/bin/kdialog'.  Obviously
    not every one has kde installed in /opt so....change this 
    variable to where kdialog is installed.  You can find this
    location by typing 'which kdialog' at the command prompt.

Q: When converting an MP3 file I get the following warning while encoding

   Unknown ID3v2-Tag version: V4.0
   | 4 > 4 || 1 == 0
   | 0,0,1,1,1n0: 0
   1: 0
   2: 1
   3: 1
   4: 1
   Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at
   /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/MP3/Tag/ID3v2.pm line 1489.

A: This isn't really an issue since the ID3 tags are copied anyway.
   The problem lies with the MP3::Tag module not recognizing an ID3
   tag > version 2

Q: Converting VOC to Lossless Audio (LA) gives me the following error

   'Error - La currently only supports 16-bit files!'

A: When converting from VOC you will need to supply a few options using
   --soxopts. Such as...

   pacpl --voctola --soxopts='-w -s -c 2 -r 44100' YourSong.voc

   VOC/AU/SND/AIFF/SMP are first converted to wavs before transcoding to 
   your desired codec.  The above options tell sox to encode the wav as
   follows:

   -w   Use 16-bit words
   -s   sample data encoding is signed linear (2's complement)
   -c   2 channels
   -r   Change sampling frequency to 44100

   The only option required for conversion is -w.  Read the SoX
   manual page for more information.

   You will also notice a similar error when transcoding to Kexis, and
   the information above can be used for that situation as well.
