[xine-user] Newbie: simple project - extract the audio stream to a pipe or file

[<ab...@ma...>]

I don't know if this is the correct list, but here goes:

I am happily using xine for playing DVDs and realaudio streams.

I can catch the audio output by directing audioo to Esound (esd) and
using esdmon to capture the audio.

This has some disadvantages:

  I have to listen to the output live whilst recording it.

  Whilst recording, I cannot us esd for anything else at the same time,

So searching for inspiration, I looked at sxfe, and came up with two
possible approaches:

1) Make a copy of the esd audio output plugin which captures the
   output, before discarding it.

2) Select the _none audio output plugin, and use the API to capture
   audio frames, and decode them to get the sound samples.

I am a total neophite with xinelib, so I am completely at a loss how
to proceed.

Does anyone haave any comments/suggestions?

Regards,

Andy
