I've managed to get flvstreamer to read a radio station's RTMP stream with the options --live -r [url], and it outputs what I guess is the raw audio data + stream info to stdout.
Can I make it play the stream through my speakers, from the command-line?
Possibly by sending sending the raw audio data to mplayer or something else. Thanks.
I got it to work with the command ./flvstreamer_x86 --live --quiet -r [url] --buffer 3000 | mplayer -vo null -, but it quits after a couple of seconds to a couple of minutes. I added --buffer 3000 to imitate what I saw when tracing the original Flash player with Wireshark. These are the last rows of output.
