First off, I'd like to say it appears you've got a very nice codec
written here.
Using the example decoder and encoder can be a bit inconvenient though,
since the encoder ignores the contents of the WAV header and the decoder
outputs raw PCM without any header.
For real world applications this is a big drawback. WAVs that aren't
44100 Hz 16 bit signed stereo get mangled on encode. The output of the
decoder isn't recognizable or usable by most sound programs.
So I wrote some wrapper shell scripts to make it easier to convert WAV
<-> Vorbis
They take stdin as the first argument and stdout as the second. They
aren't extremely well tested,
consider them beta or example code themselves.
Here they are:
ogg_encode:
#! /bin/sh
if [ $# -gt 0 ]; then
exec < $1
fi
if [ $# -gt 1 ]; then
exec > $2
fi
sox - -t wav -c 2 -s -w -r 44100 - | encoder_example
ogg_decode:
#! /bin/sh
if [ $# -gt 0 ]; then
exec < $1
fi
if [ $# -gt 1 ]; then
exec > $2
fi
decoder_example | sox -t sw -c 2 -s -w -r 44100 - -t wav -s -w -r 44100
-
Hope these help. They work for me. They may (or may not) work for you.
