I'd like to pipe flac files to aplay using the command: flac -d -c file.flac | aplay However, aplay does not read the audio file parameters and assumes that all stdin data is 8 kHz, 8-bit, mono. The following message appears: Playing raw data 'stdin' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 8000 Hz, Mono This message appears with *any* audio format. Piping used to work properly with older versions of alsa but with the latest versions the parameters of the piped audio data cannot be determined. Is this a bug with alsa or is this some intended change? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
