.SH DESCRIPTION

.B opusdec
decodes Opus URLs or files to uncompressed Wave or raw PCM.

In URLs, the
.B file
,
.B http
, and
.B https
schemes are supported unless HTTP support was disabled at build time.

If the input file is specified as
.B "-"
, then
.B opusdec
will read from stdin. Likewise, an output filename of
.B "-"
will cause output to be to stdout.

If no output is specified
.B opusdec
will attempt to play the audio in realtime if it supports
audio playback on your system.

.SH BUGS

Opusdec does not currently reject all invalid files which it should reject.
It also doesn't provide very helpful output for the corrupted files it
does reject. Use \fBopusinfo\fR(1) for somewhat better diagnostics.
