On Linux, how to play an image sequency with audio?

Question

I want to view an image sequence playing with external audio simultaneously.

I'm currently using mpv "mf://*.jpg" -mf-fps X to play sequences. Not sure how to define audio stream, yet.

I'm aware of merging the two formats with something like ffmpeg, however; I'd like to skip that part.

Preferably, I'd like to use FOSS software.

I've stumbled upon DJV developer mentioning working on audio support in this thread (the ticket being here), thought I haven't been able to spot any implementation in the software, yet.

Answer 1

With mpv, use one of the --audio-file=<file> / --audio-files=<files> options.

From man mpv:

Play audio from an external file while viewing a video.
