Hi All,

I play SMPTE302m(16bit stereo) audio file, but I hear only Right channel.
Left channel is muted.

I tried,

SMPTE302m(16bit stereo)

• ffmpeg -i stereo.wav -vn -sample_fmt s16 -acodec s302m -ac 2 stereo.ts
  
  vlc stereo.ts --> Left channel is muted (little noise).
  mplayer stereo.ts --> good.

SMPTE302m(24bit stereo)

• ffmpeg -i stereo.wav -vn -sample_fmt s32 -acodec s302m -ac 2 stereo.ts
  
  vlc stereo.ts --> good.
  mplayer stereo.ts --> good.

I tested on VLC 2.2.3(Win) / 2.2.4(Win/Linux) / 2.2.5-20161018(Win) / 3.0.0-20161018(Win).
It occurred on all platforms.

This needs to report?
Or other problems?

If you can provide a sample file, report a bug.

Thanks, I report at https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/17522
