Thanks for the insight, Scott! I'm just guessing here:
'-vc dummy' tells MPlayer to use dummy video hardware
It uses the dummy video codec, but essentially correct.
'-vo null' switches off the video output
Yup.
'-ao pcm:file=filename.wav' writes the audio output to filename.wav
It tells it to use the raw PCM/wave file output driver, yes.
Looks like I've got some reading up to do on MPlayer's CLI capabilities. This could be *extremely* helpful and I really appreciate the heads-up!
The MPlayer manpage is pretty comprehensive, as are the docs in /usr/share/doc/packages/MPlayer. -- Homepage http://scottj.org XFce desktop environment http://www.xfce.org Goodies for the XFce desktop http://xfce-goodies.berlios.de GPG public key ID: 811B00AB
