Hello,

I have forked the cplay test app into fcplay which is a different repo
[1] licensed as LGPLv2.1. The reason for fork was me getting sick of
seeing the tool miss sync word for mp3 and no support for other formats
which I wanted to test. But I was lazy to start exploring all media
formats and write a parser for them so I have used libavcodec to the job
for me which is GPL.

The fcplay links to libavcodec to get compressed audio parameters and
then uses tinycompress to send data to sound card.

It supports mp3 (no more complaints about sync words) and Flac. I will
add more formats, wma etc are in the list along with gapless audio
playback and support for new changes coming to gapless audio playback
as discussed in audio meeting at Lyon.

As usual patches are welcome.

Jaroslav, can we add to alsa-project github as well?

Here is the missing link!

[1]: git@xxxxxxxxxx:vinodkoul/fcplay.git
https://github.com/vinodkoul/fcplay/

I would probably add this to the tinycompress package, too. The mixed
licence is not an issue, I think.

That depends on who you talk to :-) Some folks seem to be averse to
anything *GPL*! so adding this to tinycompress can have issues for them.

I mean that you can add a new tool to tinycompress with the LGPL-only licence. It depends on the packager/user if he/she accepts it. So, dual BSD/LGPL licence by default and LGPL-only to fcplay. You may place this tool to src/utils-lgpl directory or so.
