GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 166750
gstreamer plug-in request: (mini)PSF(2)
Last modified: 2013-08-22 12:27:49 UTC
PSF files are Playstation Sound Format files. MiniPSF files are PSF files using a common emulated library to save space. PSF2 files are Playstation 2 sound files. I'd like to eventually see gstreamer plug-ins for these. http://www.zophar.net/music.html
Is there any working free software code to play/parse this (or any of the other reports you just filed)?
Yes, there seem to be links lying on that page, it's not very clear however, thus making it easy to miss the links. Maybe later I'll go through the formats and evaluate possibility of implementing each of them, given availablity of reference works. Marking as NEW for now.
The creator of this format has a page set up at http://www.neillcorlett.com/psf/ , which includes specs and a Winamp plugin (named Highly Experimental) to allow playback. Unfortunately, the plugin seems to be binary-only for now, though the author may be willing to open up the source if asked. A Free Software (GPL) player (an XMMS plugin, this time) exists at http://projects.raphnet.net/#sexypsf , however this can only play [mini]PSF files, not PSF2s.
It doesn't look like anybody is planning to work on this, and there doesn't seem to be much demand for this feature. And also there is no implementation of it in libav/ffmpeg for example. Let's close this until someone feels like working on it or there is more demand.
