[alsa-devel] [ANNOUNCE] fcplay: compressed audio test utility

[Vinod Koul]

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
