I'd like to extract audio stream from a FLV stream in C#. I searched in Google and I found FLVExtract, but it supports only extracting from FLV files, and not from streams.
How can I do this?

I didn't find anything, so I had to write it myself. It is very fast and it's working great. Here's the code:
protected byte[] ExtractAudio(Stream stream)
{
var reader = new BinaryReader(stream);
// Is stream a Flash Video stream
if (reader.ReadChar() != 'F' || reader.ReadChar() != 'L' || reader.ReadChar() != 'V')
throw new IOException("The file is not a FLV file.");
// Is audio stream exists in the video stream
var version = reader.ReadByte();
var exists = reader.ReadByte();
if ((exists != 5) && (exists != 4))
throw new IOException("No Audio Stream");
reader.ReadInt32(); // data offset of header. ignoring
var output = new List<byte>();
while (true)
{
try
{
reader.ReadInt32(); // PreviousTagSize0 skipping
var tagType = reader.ReadByte();
while (tagType != 8)
{
var skip = ReadNext3Bytes(reader) + 11;
reader.BaseStream.Position += skip;
tagType = reader.ReadByte();
}
var DataSize = ReadNext3Bytes(reader);
reader.ReadInt32(); //skip timestamps
ReadNext3Bytes(reader); // skip streamID
reader.ReadByte(); // skip audio header
for (int i = 0; i < DataSize - 1; i++)
output.Add(reader.ReadByte());
}
catch
{
break;
}
}
return output.ToArray();
}
private long ReadNext3Bytes(BinaryReader reader)
{
try
{
return Math.Abs((reader.ReadByte() & 0xFF) * 256 * 256 + (reader.ReadByte() & 0xFF)
* 256 + (reader.ReadByte() & 0xFF));
}
catch
{
return 0;
}
}
