#6 play audio of video/mpeg

[Thomas Orgis]

prosikito on IRC assumed/hoped that mpg123 will play the audio of a mpeg video stream - and was disappointed.

We have this system.c file that used to serve as standalone program to get audio out of mpeg system streams...

What audio format was your video stream? It could be AAC, AC3 or MP2/MP3....

[Thomas Orgis]

Yeah, but for now, mpg123 won't play it regardless of audio coded ... it will try to parse things as plain mpeg audio, but mpeg a/v stream demuxing is not there.

Well, you could use ffmpeg or mplayer to demux the audio part out of it... but then, you could also use mplayer to play it (best using mpg123 codec;-)...
