This is a custom build of the Audacious audio player with a critical fix for an assertion failure in the core library.

The original code contained a strict assertion in src/libaudcore/tuple.cc that would cause the player to crash (SIGABRT) when encountering certain malformed or unexpected metadata fields:

assert(is_valid_field(field) && field_info[field].type == Int);

This has been replaced with a robust runtime check that logs an error message instead of crashing the application:

if (!is_valid_field(field)) {
    AUDERR("Invalid field %d passed to set_int\n", field);
    return;
}
if (field_info[field].type != Int) {
    AUDERR("Field %d (%s) is not an Int field\n", field, field_info[field].name);
    return;
}

• Crash Prevention: Robust handling of metadata errors.
• Improved Logging: Errors are now reported via AUDERR for easier debugging.
• Combined Package: Specifically built with core and plugins for immediate use in Debian-based systems.

You can install the pre-built patched package using:

sudo dpkg -i audacious-4.4-patched-with-plugins_amd64.deb
sudo ldconfig

Run with:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib audacious
