-dumpaudio is almost eclusively a debugging tool, it is the raw audio packets from the file with no container. (it's not an asf or anything else, it's raw compressed data with no container) If you can, just download it again, this time with -dumpstream ... If you can't: I checked what compression format is this stream, it is "DivX audio v2", which uses format number 0x161 . If you're lucky, you'll be able to play the file with this command: mplayer -rawaudio on:format=0x161:rate=22050:channels=2:bitrate=32 stream.dump Or, if you are using MPlayer CVS: mplayer -demuxer rawaudio -rawaudio format=0x160:rate=22050:channels=2:bitrate=32 stream.dump - ods15 (MPlayer developer) ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
