[SOLVED] can't play .dsf audio files in linux

Hi All,

A friend (who uses a mac) sent me what are supposed to be high quality audio files. The extension is .dsf. Surfing the net I found that they may be "Delusion Digital Sound Files" playable in windows with DeliPlayer, StormSky RainbowPlayer, OpenMPT and MODPlug Player but I can't anything to play them in linux. I've tried vlc and mplayer. Any clues for me?

Thanks.

I'm not sure about playing - but you can convert them to something playable:

Re: [SOLVED] can't play .dsf audio files in linux

Thanks, this program seems like it should do the trick but:

==> dsf2flac-svn dependencies:
 - boost-libs (already installed)
 - flac (already installed)
 - subversion (already installed)

and

I'm not very knowledgeable about this kind of thing, does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks

Re: [SOLVED] can't play .dsf audio files in linux

I just tried it out and got the same error - it seems two build deps were missing from the PKGBUILD: cmake + boost.  Once installed it built fine.

The PKGBUILD also uses the old svn syntax - this should be flagged out of date* and replaced.  I'll see if I can get a proper one together, but for now installing the missing dependencies should have it up and running.

EDIT: *I just flagged it directing the maintainer to this thread.  Here's a fully updated PKGBUILD:

_svnname="dsf2flac"
_svnlocal="${_svnname}-read-only"
pkgname="${_svnname}-svn"
pkgver=r53
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="A file conversion tool for translating dsf and dff dsd audio files into flac pcm audio files."
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
url="https://code.google.com/p/dsf2flac"
license=('GPL3')
depends=('boost-libs' 'flac' 'id3lib')
makedepends=('boost' 'cmake' 'subversion')
source=("${_svnlocal}::svn+http://dsf2flac.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/")
sha256sums=('SKIP')

prepare() {
  cd "${srcdir}/${_svnlocal}"
  sed -i 's/static 1/static 0/' CMakeLists.txt
}

pkgver() {
  cd "${srcdir}/${_svnlocal}"
  local ver="$(svnversion)"
  printf "r%s" "${ver//[[:alpha:]]}"
}

build() {
  cd "${srcdir}/${_svnlocal}"
  cmake .
  make
}

package() {
  cd "${srcdir}/${_svnlocal}"
  install -Dm755 dsf2flac "${pkgdir}/usr/bin/dsf2flac"
}

mpd plays dsf files...

Re: [SOLVED] can't play .dsf audio files in linux

Thanks Trilby, the pkgbuild worked perfectly and thanks Rasi, I'll check out mpd. I was always hesitant because it seems like a pain to set up but I see that the archwiki has all the info I need.

Cheers!

Hi Trilby,

I've updated the PKGBUILD. Thanks.

The structure of the PKGBUILD conforms to the SVN PKGBUILD prototype in the abs package. I'm not going to change it now.

Re: [SOLVED] can't play .dsf audio files in linux

Thanks for the quick response.  Just adding the dependencies will have it fully functional again.  But the SVN PKGBUILD prototype in the ABS is known to be out of date.  You may want to check out the next section of that wiki page that covers the new source syntax.

Re: [SOLVED] can't play .dsf audio files in linux

For playing dsf files you have these options (without converting to another format one by one)

1) mpd or better mpd-dsd  (free, can play DSD files but cannot convert on the fly)
2) hqplayer (trial, it can play and eventually convert to PCM in real time)
4) jriver-media-center (trial, it can play and eventually convert to PCM in real time)
5) hqplayer-embedded (you can control and play dsf files from your smartphone with BubbleUPNP. Rygel and Minimserver must be installed on archlinux PC)

All these packages are in AUR

mpv can also play dsf and dff files
