NAME

mp3dec − decode audio MPEG files (layers 1, 2 and 3)

SYNOPSIS

­mp3dec [ ­-o ­outfile ] [ ­file ...  ]

DESCRIPTION

­Mp3dec decodes one or more MPEG audio files, writing 16-bit stereo linear PCM sample data to ­outfile (default /dev/audio).  If no files are named, ­mp3dec reads standard input. 

In the absence of the ­-o option, ­mp3dec also opens /dev/volume and sets the sample rate for playback to match the audio stream.  When writing to outfile, ­mp3dec prints a warning to standard error if the stream rate is not 44100 Hz.
