But first the extra step of determining the audio file parameters must be taken. The point is that aplay should be able to determine the parameters from the stream. Other media programs that accept stdin, such as mpv, will do so. In fact the command "flac -d -c | mpv" works with no problem. As I indicated in my original post, earlier versions of aplay could determine stream parameters but now, for some reason, it cannot. I was inquiring whether this is a bug or a new "feature" of aplay. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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
