Re: Downmixing Surround Flac to Stereo.

The Blaze ET still choked on the stereo.flac produced by the ffmpeg example, but I was at least able to get it to play on my desktop without it sounding like most of the audio was missing, though I'm starting to think my original problem was mkvextract not knowing how to deal with audio streams in

Re: png files

What you're looking for is Ocular Character Recognition, OCR for short, software. The two available for Linux I know of are Tesseract and Cuneiform. I haven't much experience with Tesseract, but its been a while since I used Cuneiform and if I remember correctly, Cuneiform produced gibberish about

Downmixing Surround Flac to Stereo.

I recently downloaded a .mkv file with 5.1 audio encoded to flac and as I inteneded to listen to it on my Blaze ET, which doesn't support mkv files, I used mkvextract to extract the audio, producing a 1.1GB file with roughly a 90 minute runtime. Unfortunately, My Blaze ET apparently can't handle
