About vgmstream
vgmstream plays and decodes streamed audio formats found in video games, which ordinary media players usually cannot open. The command-line tool converts these files to standard audio so they can be played or edited elsewhere.
The same code is available as plugins for foobar2000, Winamp, XMPlay and Audacious, letting those players open game audio directly. The project is actively maintained, with thousands of commits and recent activity.
