Following today's posts about help with submitting patches I realised I sent the libmad patch yesterday in the wrong format. Apologies, I was not familiar with the git format patches. Hopefully the attached version is now in the correct format against the current master branch. The bug report about why this exists is at the following link, including a link to sample distorted audio from decoding an mp3 stream on ARMv4 hardware: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/9764 Best regards, David.
