Arch Linux

New!

Not sure that 0.18 branch will support DSD native (not DoP) like this package.

Now on 0.18 branch with seek support for DFF and DSF.

Note: This package will become obsolete once the seek support has been merged upstream, though I'll keep the package around to track any future development.

AFAIK, the only difference between this and upstream would be the DFF seeking support (as I said in my first comment). I should have qualified that in the description, sorry for the confusion.

If you search for SEEK in decoder/*decoder_plugin.c (0.17.x) or decoder/*DecoderPlugin.cxx (0.18.x) you'll see "not implemented yet" in all other trees but this one.

@forkenbrock:
Yes, that latest mpd change would be the fix for libvorbis-0.3.4

The disclaimer would be applicable to every dsd player. It happens that some DAC declared as compatible with DSD really will output a big "bump" changing for example from DSD64 to DSD128...standards are not completely formalized...please always volume down before trying.

What I don't understand is the difference from official 0.18.8 in extra.
I have tested the official one and it works generally fine. You must add dsd_usb "yes" in audio output and disable mixer. This will output DSD stream in DoP format without PCM conversion. DAC must absolutely support this otherwise you could output dangerous noise to loudspeakers.

The bug about mpd crash at the end of a dsd file however is not completely resolved.

I had updated my system yesterday, before trying to make this package. It's interesting that the newest version of MPD has some changes regarding Vorbis issues.

I was wondering what's different with this version Lintweaker has put together than the standard Arch MPD Package?

https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/mpd/

From what I've read, MPD started supporting DSD in version 17.2, though the site still contains the following disclaimer.

"...DSD over USB according to the proposed standard by dCS and others is enabled. This wraps DSD samples in fake 24 bit PCM, and is understood by some DSD capable products, but may be harmful to other hardware. Therefore, the default is no and you can enable the option at your own risk."

It builds with libvorbis-1.3.3 but not 1.3.4. I'll have to figure out why.

Has anyone had any luck with building this package? I've tried several times, but always receiving this string at the bottom as it's aborted. thanks

Why not 1.8?

Moreover, I would like to install alongside official mpd, maybe I can change prefix...

This is the only tree with any sort of DSD seeking support, and that is for DFF,only. Please do not mark out of date or ask to update to a newer branch because that won't happen unless someone ports it (C++).
