No sound for video with Mono LPCM (pcm_s24le)

[discoteca]

I have problems using VLC (Versions 1 and 2) to playback videos with Mono LPCM (pcm_s24le) audio, the video will be silent. Videos with Stereo LPCM (pcm_s24le) will play fine.

I tried to search for this issue but only found this (http://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/4957) which seems to be a different problem which should be fixed. My problem is with completely no sound.

These lines show up in the log when playing a video with Mono LPCM (pcm_s24le);

Code: Select all

main debug: looking for decoder module: 31 candidates araw error: bad channels count (1-8): 0 avcodec debug: libavcodec already initialized avcodec error: cannot open codec (PCM S24 LE) main debug: no decoder module matching "any" could be loaded main debug: TIMER module_need() : 4.300 ms - Total 4.300 ms / 1 intvls (Avg 4.300 ms) main error: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `s24l'. VLC probably does not support this sound or video format. main debug: killing decoder fourcc `s24l', 0 PES in FIFO

These lines show up in the log when playing a video with Stereo LPCM (pcm_s24le);

Code: Select all

main debug: looking for decoder module: 31 candidates araw debug: samplerate:48000Hz channels:2 bits/sample:24 main debug: using decoder module "araw" main debug: TIMER module_need() : 0.237 ms - Total 0.237 ms / 1 intvls (Avg 0.237 ms)

Is this a bug or does VLC not currently support playback of Mono LPCM with the codec pcm_s24le?
