Read an audio stream from a movie container.

It accepts the syntax: movie_name[:options] where movie_name is the name of the resource to read (not necessarily a file but also a device or a stream accessed through some protocol), and options is an optional sequence of key=value pairs, separated by ":".

The description of the accepted options follows.

format_name, f

Specify the format assumed for the movie to read, and can be either the name of a container or an input device. If not specified the format is guessed from movie_name or by probing.

seek_point, sp

Specify the seek point in seconds, the frames will be output starting from this seek point, the parameter is evaluated with av_strtod so the numerical value may be suffixed by an IS postfix. Default value is "0".

stream_index, si

Specify the index of the audio stream to read. If the value is -1, the best suited audio stream will be automatically selected. Default value is "-1".
