sfconvert - convert between various audio formats
sfconvert infile outfile [ options ...
] [ output keywords ... ]
The sfconvert tool can be used to convert audio files from
one audio format to another. The files' audio formats have to be supported
by libaudiofile.
The following keywords specify the format of the output sound
file:
- byteorder
e
- Desired endianness of output sample data. e may be one of
big or little.
- channels
n
- Number of output channels. n is 1 for mono, and 2 for
stereo files.
- format
f
- Audio format of output file. f has to be one of the currently
supported formats: aiff (Audio Interchange File Format),
aifc (AIFF-C File Format), next (NeXT/Sun Format),
wave (MS RIFF WAVE Format), bicsf (Berkeley/IRCAM/CARL Sound
File Format), avr (Audio Visual Research File Format), iff
(Amiga IFF/8SVX Sound File Format), or nist (NIST SPHERE File
Format).
- integer n
s
- Produce integer samples. n specifies the width of individual
samples in bits, s yields the encoding and may be one of
2scomp (2's complement signed data), or unsigned (unsigned
data). The integer and float options (see below) are
mutually exclusive.
- float
m
- Produce floating point samples with a maximum amplitude of m
(usually 1.0). This options may not be used together with option
integer.
