opusdec - decode audio in Opus format to Wave or raw PCM
Contents
Bugs
Opusdec does not currently reject all invalid files which it should reject. It also doesn't provide very
helpful output for the corrupted files it does reject. Use opusinfo(1) for somewhat better diagnostics.
Description
opusdec decodes Opus URLs or files to uncompressed Wave or raw PCM.
In URLs, the file , http , and https schemes are supported unless HTTP support was disabled at build
time.
If the input file is specified as - , then opusdec will read from stdin. Likewise, an output filename of
- will cause output to be to stdout.
If no output is specified opusdec will attempt to play the audio in realtime if it supports audio
playback on your system.
Examples
Decode a file input.opus to output.wav
opusdec input.opus output.wav
Play a file input.opus
opusdec input.opus
Re-encode a high bitrate Opus file to a lower rate
opusdec --force-wav input.opus - | opusenc --bitrate 64 - output.opus
Play an http stream http://icecast.somwhere.org:8000/stream.opus on a system with pulseaudio
(pressctrl-ctoquit)
padsp opusdec http://icecast.somwhere.org:8000/stream.opus
