Description

hi.
can this plugin play raw PCM audio (16 bit little endian, 44100, stereo)?

ffmpeg from command line can read this file with the following parameters:
/usr/bin/ffmpeg -sample_rate 44100 -f s16le -ac 2

if it is possible, what #KODIPROP lines should be in strm file?
thanks.

Research direction

Start by examining how the plugin handles FFmpeg input options and how #KODIPROP lines are parsed in an STRM file. Compare that path with the supplied ffmpeg command for 16-bit little-endian, 44.1 kHz stereo PCM. Done means establishing whether this format is supported and documenting the required configuration, or identifying the implementation scope if it is not.
