doesn't work. The resulting OGG file is nothing but header. oggenc
won't allow stdin unless I use --raw. That requires "headerless" WAV.
It seems the default for mplayer is "waveheader" for pcm, and I can't
figure out how to change that. My piped command might work, if I
could turn off the header. I've also played with SoX, but haven't
managed to get that to work yet either.
Thanks....
You can also make a fifo, redirect mplayer's pcm output to it and encode on
the fly.
I do something like this:
FIFO_TMP="/tmp/mplayer-pcm-out.fifo"
mkfifo "${FIFO_TMP}"
oggenc -Q -o <outfile> "${FIFO_TMP}" &
mplayer -vc null -vo null -ao pcm:fast:file="${FIFO_TMP}" <infile>
