See :ref:`audio_output_format` for a detailed description of the value.
Any of the three attributes may be an asterisk to specify that this attribute should not be enforced, example: 48000:16:*. *:*:* is equal to not having a format specification.
The following values are valid for bits: 8 (signed 8 bit integer samples), 16, 24 (signed 24 bit integer samples padded to 32 bit), 32 (signed 32 bit integer samples), f (32 bit floating point, -1.0 to 1.0), "dsd" means DSD (Direct Stream Digital). For DSD, there are special cases such as "dsd64", which allows you to omit the sample rate (e.g. dsd512:2 for stereo DSD512, i.e. 22.5792 MHz).
The sample rate is special for DSD: :program:`MPD` counts the number of bytes, not bits. Thus, a DSD "bit" rate of 22.5792 MHz (DSD512) is 2822400 from :program:`MPD`'s point of view (44100*512/8).
