  * so in case we want to use default device, lets tak its #5
<code>
dsd -i pa:5 -o pa:5
</code>  
  * manipulate soudn outputs/inputs by 
<code>
  pavucontrol
</code>
  * pipe I/O to fucntional device
<code>
padsp dssocat UDP-RECV:7355 - | padsp dsd -i /dev/dsp -o /dev/dsp

<code>
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

22:17:56 < 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</code>
