Overview
opusdec decodes Opus URLs or files to uncompressed Wave or raw PCM.
In URLs, the file , http , and https schemes are supported unless HTTP support was disabled at build time.
If the input file is specified as - , then opusdec will read from stdin. Likewise, an output filename of - will cause output to be to stdout.
If no output is specified opusdec will attempt to play the audio in realtime if it supports audio playback on your system.

-
--quiet -
Suppresses program output
-
--rate n -
Force decoding at sampling rate n Hz
-
--force-stereo -
Force decoding to stereo
-
--gain n -
Adjust the output volume n dB, negative values make the signal quieter
-
--no-dither -
Do not dither 16-bit output
-
--float -
Output 32-bit floating-point samples instead of 16-bit integer samples
-
--force-wav -
Force including a Wave header on output (e.g. for non-wav extensions and stdout)
-
--packet-loss n -
Simulate n % random Opus packet loss
-
--save-range file -
Save check values for every frame to a file
Examples
Decode a file input.opus to output.wav
opusdec input.opus output.wav
Play a file input.opus
opusdec input.opus
Re-encode a high bitrate Opus file to a lower rate
opusdec --force-wav input.opus - | opusenc --bitrate 64 - output.opus
Play an http stream http://icecast.somwhere.org:8000/stream.opus on a system with pulseaudio
