Transcoding only multichannel dsf files

[Veganfloyd]

Thank you, Simon. It worked in terms of being a legal code, but did not solve the issue. I also tried: convOut=-f 'channelmap=0|1|2|4|5:5.0' -af volume=+6dB. Again, it did nothing.

I installed ffmpeg on my PC to convert a test 5.0 dsf to flac and see how it plays on my system. After using the following "ffmpeg -i test.dsf -af aformat=s32:176000 testflac.flac", I got a flac that plays on my system just fine. Clearly, ffmpeg must be doing something different when transcoding on the fly. I'm at a loss what it could be. I'll try to ask around in forums/groups with a multichannel edge and report back if I find out the solution. If anybody here has any ideas, please shoot.
