Hello RIPE Webcast people, I've tried to view the sessions being webcasted, and a problem. The audio codec used is not supported by mplayer, and I haven't been able to locate any other open source program capable of playing these streams. Mplayers identified the audio stream as follows : ======= WAVE Format ======= Format Tag: 10 (0xA) Channels: 1 Samplerate: 8000 avg byte/sec: 1000 Block align: 300 bits/sample: 16 [..] Cannot find codec for audio format 0xA A fairly extensive google search for the problem finds a few people who have the same problem, but no solutions. Checking the mplayer sources ( mplayer-1.0pre1 , latest release) shows that this codec/format is indeed unknown. I'd appreciate it if you could change the codec to either plain PCM, or MP3, for example. (Actually, what -is- the codec used at the moment ? ) Unless I missed something perhaps, in which case I hope you can provide a few pointers on how to use mplayer (or any other free unix tool ) to view and listen to the webcasts. ----- Apart from this problem though, I'd hope that RIPE would use non-propietary formats in general as much as possible.
