All your suggestions are basically correct. Perhaps the magic bit you are missing is the "amerge" filter. Firstly, if you want to duplicate the same input, you can reuse it with filter_complex: $ ffmpeg -f lavfi -i sine -filter_complex "[0][0][0][0][0][0]amerge=inputs=6" -t 1 -f ipod /dev/null -y For differing frequencies, you can just as well add various input sources: $ ffmpeg -f lavfi -i sine=f=440 -f lavfi -i sine=f=880 -filter_complex "[0][1]amerge" -t 1 -f ipod /dev/null -y (These are somewhat shorthand filter_complex usages, missing an output pad "[out]" and mapping '-map "[out]"'.) You can find some more mapping inspiration (minus the duplicated audio sources) here: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/AudioChannelManipulation Cheers, Moritz _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list [email protected] http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email [email protected] with subject "unsubscribe".
