maplay version 1.2 is the second release of my MPEG audio
|
|
player/decoder. It decodes layer I and layer II MPEG audio streams
|
|
and plays them using a CD-quality audio device.
|
|
|
|
The player supports all modes, which are single channel, stereo, joint
|
|
stereo and dual channel, and all bitrates except free mode. The
|
|
missing free mode support should not be a problem for now, because I
|
|
haven't seen such a stream yet.
|
|
|
|
Besides realtime playing of audio streams, maplay can decode streams
|
|
to stdout for further conversions. The output consists of 16 bit
|
|
signed PCM values. For stereo streams, the values are interleaved,
|
|
which means that a value for the left channel is followed by a value
|
|
for the right channel and so on. If maplay has been compiled for u-law
|
|
output, the output consists of 8 bit u-law samples at a rate of 8 kHz,
|
|
no matter what frequency the stream uses.
