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?
Thanks
