The rawaudio demuxer had a rather hard to use way to set the audio
format with the --rawaudio=format=value option. The user had to pass a
numeric value, which then was set as wFormatTag member in the
WAVEFORMATEX header.
Make it use the mplayer audio format (the same as --af=format=value).
Add a new internal pseudo audio codec tag, which is hopefully unused,
which makes ad_pcm use the value in wFormatTag as internal mplayer
audio format.
Playing non-PCM formats is disabled. (At least AC3 can be played
directly.)
Compiling with full features requires development files for several
external libraries. Below is a list of some important requirements. For
more information see the output of './configure --help' for a list of options,
or look at the list of enabled and disabled features printed after running
'./configure'. If you think you have support for some feature installed
but configure fails to detect it, the file config.log may contain information
about the reasons for the failure.
Libraries specific to particular video output methods
(you'll want at least one of VDPAU, GL or Xv):
- libvdpau (for VDPAU output, best choice for NVIDIA cards)
- libGL (OpenGL output)
- libXv (XVideo output)
general:
- libasound (ALSA audio output)
- various general X development libraries
- libfreetype (for libass)
- libfontconfig (for libass)
- libass
- FFmpeg libraries (libavutil libavcodec libavformat libswscale libpostproc)
Most of the above libraries are available in suitable versions on normal
Linux distributions. However FFmpeg is an exception (distro versions may be
too old to work at all or work well). For that reason you may want to use
the separately available build wrapper that first compiles FFmpeg libraries
and libass, and then compiles the player statically linked against those.
