Use gstreamer to generate raw LPCM audio files
requirements:
brew: http://mxcl.github.io/homebrew/
xquartz: https://xquartz.macosforge.org/landing/
brew install mad
brew install gstreamer
brew install gst-plugins-base
brew install gst-plugins-good
brew install gst-plugins-ugly
test pipeline (should just play a tone):
gst-launch-1.0 audiotestsrc ! audioconvert ! osxaudiosink
write out audio file to disk (using same tone):
gst-launch-1.0 audiotestsrc ! audioconvert ! capsfilter caps = "audio/x-raw,format=F32BE,channels=1,rate=44100" ! filesink location = "audio.raw"
read audio file from disk (should play the same tone):
gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location = "audio.raw" ! capsfilter caps = "audio/x-raw,format=F32BE,channels=1,rate=44100" ! audioconvert ! osxaudiosink
decode mp3 and write to disk:
gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location = shake.mp3 ! decodebin ! audioconvert ! capsfilter caps = "audio/x-raw,format=F32BE,channels=1,rate=44100" ! filesink location = "audio.raw"

Unfortunately this will not allow to link with elements which require audio/x-lpcm cap

@CAMOBAP did you find a way to encode/parse audio/x-raw to audio/x-lpcm in order to perform a successful link with elements which require audio/x-lpcm cap like mpegtsmux?
