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.
Have you tried specifying the parameters of the stream?
