NOTES

22:16:03 < Over23> bry vecer, prosba prosbouci
22:16:13 < Over23> je tu nekdo kdo si hraje s dsd?
22:16:31 < Over23> konkretne tenhle problem:
22:16:34 < Over23> over@picka ~ $ socat UDP-RECV:7355 - | dsd -i /dev/stdout
22:16:34 < Over23> Digital Speech Decoder 1.7.0-dev (build:v1.6.0-86-g7ee04e5)
22:16:34 < Over23> mbelib version 1.3.0
22:16:34 < Over23> Error, couldn't open /dev/audio
22:16:36 < Over23> 2016/03/19 23:15:52 socat[8975] E write(1, 0x7d5438, 256): Broken pipe
22:17:56 < Jenda`> Over23: vždy jsem dekodoval jen wav, musí být 1ch 48kHz S16_LE
22:18:49 < Over23> muzu videt nejaky priklad?
22:20:07 < Over23> respektive cesta tedy ma byt bud z gqrx > wav > dsd chalu li dobre [resp sdr_fm > file]
22:20:18 < Over23> respektive cesta tedy ma byt bud z gqrx > wav > dsd chalu li dobre [resp sdr_fm > file > dsd]
22:20:50 < Jenda`> ffmpeg -i foo.wav -ac 1 -ar 48000 -y ble.wav; dsd -i ble.wav -w out.wav
22:21:03 < Jenda`> foo.wav je z gqrx
22:21:18 < Jenda`> nahrané jako nbfm s šířkou alespoň 13 kHz
