Others have included it in their responses, but the quick way with
ffmpeg is just:
ffmpeg -i name.avi
Since there's no output file, ffmpeg prints info about the audio and
video streams and returns an error. If you prefer to do it as a batch,
it might not be convenient, but I use it all the time. I also use
ffmpeg to extract that audio, but that takes a bit more of a command.

Hi all,
This is slightly OT for the group, but I hope someone can tell me.
I have thousands of large AVI files and I want a quick way to determine
from the command line whether their audio is stereo, 5.1, etc.
I've read about ffmpeg and haven't seen anything jumping out at me, and
it's hard to pick the right search keywords to find relevant pages on
Google.
Anyone know a trick to get this info? Currently I can do it by
right-clicking on the file and viewing its properties, but there *has*
to be a better way...
Cheers,
Jonathan
