[linux-minidisc] some notes for downloaded atrac1 sp tracks (.aea files)

[Thomas Arp <manner.moe@gmx.de>]

Hi,
i have uploaded some atrac1 sp tracks from my RH1 to my computer with 
netmdcli (and my test version of qhimdtransfer).
There seems to be somthing wrong with these tracks.
All uploaded tracks (i tried different tracks from different minidiscs) 
are playing well with vlc but at very very low volume.
This means i have to set my amp volume at 100% to hear something, 
normally volume level is at 5-7%.
Audio data seems got be fine.
I uploaded these tracks in windows and linux but there is no difference 
between them, so this bug is platform independent.

I did not get SonicStage to work on my virtual machine so i don't have 
any sonicstage downloaded track for comparison.
Sample atrac1 files from mplayer ftp server plays fine.

I don't know if this is a bug in the atrac decoder or a bug in our 
upload mechanism (maybe some missing information in the aea header?).

You can find one of these tracks on my ftp server [1].
