You could get a stereo .wav using something like mplayer -noconsolecontrols -novideo -really-quiet -vc null -vo null -ao pcm:file=stereo_filename.wav downloaded.mkv You do not need all the flags above, but it should work. HTH, Willem On Mon, 16 Oct 2017, Linux for blind general discussion wrote:
I recently downloaded a .mkv file with 5.1 audio encoded to flac and as I inteneded to listen to it on my Blaze ET, which doesn't support mkv files, I used mkvextract to extract the audio, producing a 1.1GB file with roughly a 90 minute runtime. Unfortunately, My Blaze ET apparently can't handle surround files and trying to play the flac in ogg123 seems to only be producing sound effects. Can anyone suggest either a means of converting the surround flac file to stereo from the command line or suggest a lightweight command line flac player that can properly playback surround sound files through earphones? -- Sincerely, Jeffery Wright President Emeritus, Nu Nu Chapter, Phi Theta Kappa.
