i need to play a mp3 stream (stereo) via ffplay and send it to specific output channels on my multichannel audio hardware.
stream (stereo) -> output 3 & 4 while doing that the unused channels should stay silent, as i want to send to them from other instances of ffplay.
how would i go about to do that?
i already tried a lot of different approaches without luck, mostly based on this:
ffplay -i http://blablabla -af 'channelmap=map=0-2|1-3' -nodisp
as well as
ffplay -i http://blablabla -af 'channelmap=map=0-2|1-3=channel_layout=6.0'
thank you for any help, i'm slowly going crazy digging through the manuals and trying out variations of the same command for hours …
ps: i'm running ffplay 5.1.1 on mac os 12.5.1 on m1max
