Streaming to .wav format

[tomleonard]

I would like to capture an audio stream in preparation for writing the file to an audio CD. How do I specify the sout parameters to get this format?

Right now you can't use the stream output to do this because we miss a dummy encoder (which just forwards the incoming decoded data) and a WAV muxer. Not difficult to add but this hasn't been done yet.

However you can currently use the "file" audio output for this.
This should do the trick: "vlc yourinputfile --novideo -A file --audiofile-file=youroutput.wav"
