1. Output Devices

Output devices are configured elements in Libav which allow to write multimedia data to an output device attached to your system.

When you configure your Libav build, all the supported output devices are enabled by default. You can list all available ones using the configure option "–list-outdevs".

You can disable all the output devices using the configure option "–disable-outdevs", and selectively enable an output device using the option "–enable-outdev=OUTDEV", or you can disable a particular input device using the option "–disable-outdev=OUTDEV".

The option "-formats" of the ff* tools will display the list of enabled output devices (amongst the muxers).

A description of the currently available output devices follows.

ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) output device.

1.2 oss
