the -ao switch tells it what audio device to output to, just as -vo tells it what video device to output to. PCM means "pulse code modulation" which i guess means wav file. I honestly don't know why it works, I found it years ago when I had to convert all my wma's when I migrated from the violation known as "Windows Me!"
I was just happy not to have to loopback from audio out to audio in and have all that resultant loss. On 11/11/06, John Jason Jordan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Yay!!!! It worked!!!! Now I'd like to learn why that worked and previous efforts did not. Actually, I could start with what "-ao pcm" does. A thousand thanks for getting my files working! _______________________________________________ PDXLUG (a Portland Linux user group) mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlug.org/mailman/listinfo/pdxlug IRC: irc.freenode.net #pdxlug & #orlug
