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. |
