[pulseaudio-discuss] record stream in original stream format

[Daniel]

The player receives the stream, decodes it and feeds uncompressed audio to
your sound system. So at this point you obviously cannot access the raw
data stream. You have to see if the player has options to do that before
decoding and playing the audio.

Daniel
