The actual audio decoding and playing is performed by *MPD*, the Music
|
|
|
22 |
Player Daemon. In consequence, *upmpdcli* can accept most audio formats
|
|
|
23 |
supported by *MPD*, meaning about anything, including DSD.

Raw PCM streams are an exception though. The reason is that these streams
|
|
|
26 |
do not, by definition, carry metadata to define the exact format (sample
|
|
|
27 |
rate, bits per sample, number of channels, byte order). *upmpdcli* has no
|
|
|
28 |
way to transfer these parameters to *MPD* (this is a limitation of the
|
|
|
29 |
client protocol). There is actually little reason to use raw PCM, and, for
|
|
|
30 |
example, WAV streams, which have an identification header, will be handled
|
|
|
31 |
just fine.
