[alsa-devel] MP3 files with ALSA
Hi, how are you.
I started to read the alsa documentation a few days ago, because i want to see how works alsa internally, and because i want to write an audio application (just for fun). Well, with .wav files i don't have any problem, but i have a doubt with mp3 files. I know that i need to decode mp3 into wav, for example, for playing it with alsa, but my doubt is if alsa decode this internally, or if is my job doing it.
In the last case, maybe you can give me a web that talking about this.
Thanks a lot,
Regards

ALSA doesn't do this, your application or a library it uses needs to do it. mplayer is one example of a program that can decode MP3s.
