Whish list: please provide a simple "hdcd_decode" cmd line tool as well...

Hi,

first of all, thank you for the great job done!

Straight to the point, the subj. says it all. It would be nice to have, alongside "hdcd_detect", a simple command line tool for offline decoding (as well as possibly online decoding within a pipe, too) of HDCD files.

Thank you for your attention.

hdcd_detect will decode an HDCD encoded wav file, and it can be used in a pipe. See hdcd_detect -h for usage info. It only handles wav format, though. You could use flac -c -d somehdcd.flac | hdcd_detect -c - | flac -o somehdcd_decoded.flac for example, but you'll lose the flac metadata.
