NAME
opusdec - decode audio in Opus format to Wave or raw PCM

SYNOPSIS
opusdec [ -hV ] [ --quiet ] [ --rate Hz ] [ --force-stereo ] [ --gain dB ] [ --no-dither ] [ --float ] [ --force-wav ] [ --packet-loss pct ] [ --save-range file ] input.opus [ output.wav ]

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.

OPTIONS

-h, --help
    Show help message

-V, --version
    Show version information

--quiet
    Suppresses program output

--rate n
    Force decoding at sampling rate n Hz

--force-stereo
    Force decoding to stereo

--gain n
    Adjust the output volume n dB, negative values make the signal quieter

--no-dither
    Do not dither 16-bit output

--float
    Output 32-bit floating-point samples instead of 16-bit integer samples

--force-wav
    Force including a Wave header on output (e.g. for non-wav extensions and stdout)

--packet-loss n
    Simulate n % random Opus packet loss

--save-range file
    Save check values for every frame to a file

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

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.
