why i need a sound server if i have only to transcode data?

[allegfede]

hello. Trying to transcode web audio streams in aac to feed an headless mux, but i receive from odr-audioend an error about missing pulse audio server.

I suppose that only libvlc was needed (or at least cvlc) to do the data manipulation. Is it wrong?

How could i bypas the problem?

There is a compilation flag or a startup option to avoid the audio server requirement?

Thanks a lot.

Is it an error, or only a warning? I know that other users are using audioenc without issues in the scenario you describe.

Also, have you tried GSt instead of VLC?
