+@section dolby_e
+
+Dolby E audio decoder.
+
+This is a raw decoder without any further processing, which means the output
+sample rate is different from the 48KHz input sample rate.
+A dolby E stream is always carried in a s337m muxer, as a raw file
+or muxed in any format that is able to transport an AES3
+or an equivalent uncompressed audio stream (stereo, 48KHz, 16/20/24 bits).
+Currently, only wav and raw file formats are supported. Other formats require
+two passes of processing: a first one to extract the s337m stream,
+and another to decode it.
+In case of AES3, or if the format itself supports it, the non-PCM mode may
+be signaled, but in a more general manner, a stream has to be probed to be
+handled as dolby E rather than pcm.
+By default, stream probing is enabled which forbids pass-through as no s337m
+muxer is implemented yet. In order to pass-through a dolby E stream,
+@code{--non_pcm_mode copy} must be specified (see input muxer options).

+WAV/RF64/BW64/Wave64 demuxer.
+
+This demuxer supports spdif and s337m probing, as well as direct codec
+probing in some cases (dts).
+Concerning dolby E, see @ref{dolby_e,,the dolby E section in the ffmpeg-codecs manual,ffmpeg-codecs}.

+@subsection Options
+
+This demuxer supports the following options:
+
+@table @option
+
+@item ignore_length @var{bool}
+Ignore the length field of the 'data' chunk: read everything as data up to eof. Default is disabled.
+This option is not supported in the Wave64 demuxer.
+
+@item max_size
+Max size of a single packet. Default is 4096.
+
+@item non_pcm_mode
+This option is active only if s337m data is probed.
+Specify how this data shall be handled. Default is to demux.
+@table @samp
+@item copy
+Pass-through as pcm: s337m will not be reported
+@item demux
+Demux and report the encoded stream for later decoding
