[Libav-user] filtering_audio.c example not working

[Ron Woods]

I am trying out the filtering_audio.c example provided with the ffmpeg libraries for Windows to extract the audio from a MP4 file, resample to 8 KHz and convert from stereo to mono. The example pipes the audio output via stdout to ffplay. I am using Visual Studio 2010 and the example successfully builds and runs but the result is clearly not the desired result. At the end of init_filters I added a call to avfilter_graph_dump() and it all looks correct and also the pipe to ffplay as in this trace:

abuffer filter args: time_base=1/24000:sample_rate=24000:sample_fmt=s16:channel_layout=0x4
Output: srate:8000Hz fmt:s16 chlayout:mono

If you have made this example run properly on Windows in VS 2010, would you please provide any tips or changes you made for it to work?
