dbcat − Send audio data to DB Fourier Synthesis daemon
dbcat [options]
The dbcat tool provides a simple means to feed dbfsd with audio data. Both programs are part of the DBMix project, a digital audio mixing system. dbcat takes input data from its standard input only, and is therefore usually used in a pipe with some other sound generating program.
−8 |
Input data comprises of PCM-coded 8bit unsigned samples. (Default: 16bit signed samples.) |
||
−c n |
Connect to channel n of dbfsd. (Default: first channel available.) |
||
−d |
Print out debug messages to console. (Default: debugging disabled.) |
||
−h |
Print summary of available options. |
||
−m |
Input data is a mono stream. (Default: interleaved stereo stream.) |
−r rate
Input data is sampled at rate Hertz. (Default: 44100Hz.)
−v |
Print version information. (Default: no version information.) |
||
−S |
Produce an endless stream of blank audio data (silence). Any input data is dropped. This mode provides a dummy source useful for testing and debugging. (Default: pass on input data.) |
mpg321 -s test.mp3 | dbcat
Sends a 16bit/44.1kHz stereo audio stream decoded from test.mp3 off to dbfsd.
