This is libsndfile, 0.0.26 libsndfile is a library of C routines for reading and writing files containing sampled audio data. The src/ directory contains the source code for library itself. The doc/ directory contains the libsndfile documentation. The examples/ directory contains examples of how to write code using libsndfile. 'wav32_aiff24' converts a WAV file containing 32 bit floating point data into a 24 bit PCM AIFF file. 'sndfile2oct' dumps the audio data of a file in a human readable format. 'sfconvert' is the beginnings of a audio file format conversion utility. 'make_sine' generates a WAV file containing one cycle of a sine wave with 4096 sample points in 32 bit floating point format. 'sfinfo' opens a sound file and prints out information about that file. The tests/ directory contains programs which link against libsndfile and test its functionality. The Win32/ directory contains files and documentation to allow libsndfile to compile under Win32 with the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler. The MacOS/ directory contains files and documentation to allow libsndfile to compile under MacOS with the Metrowerks compiler. The src/GSM610 directory contains code written by Jutta Degener and Carsten Bormann. Their original code can be found at : http://kbs.cs.tu-berlin.de/~jutta/toast.html The src/G72x directory contains code written and released by Sum Microsystems under a suitably free license. OTHER PLATFORMS --------------- To compile libsndfile on platforms which have a Bourne Shell compatible shell, an ANSI C compiler and a make utility should require no more that the following three commands : ./configure make make install For platforms without the required shell, it is usually sufficient to create an approriate config.h file in the src/ directory with correct values for the following #defines (this would work for AmigaOS) : #define HAVE_ENDIAN_H 0 #define GUESS_BIG_ENDIAN 1 #define GUESS_LITTLE_ENDIAN 0 #define FORCE_BROKEN_FLOAT 0 CONTACTS -------- libsndfile was written by Erik de Castro Lopo (erikd AT zip DOT com DOT au).
