similar to: command-line: AIFF writer advice

How about the opposite? What I would like to see is FLAC support in libaudiofile, so applications written with libaudiofile could transparently take advantage on FLAC's compression. Ironically I guess it would still make sense to use libaudiofile in FLAC for getting input. Mmmm, cyclic dependancies... Or is that just a stupid idea?

Agree completely. I did this because I wanted to get something working with as small a change as possible. > Brady, I

Hello, I built the entire Vorbis kit on my PowerMac G4 running OSX 10.4.6. I'm having problems however doing anything with the libao package. Any time I try to use the library to link it errors out with the following message: /usr/bin/ld: Undefined symbols: _dlsym_auto_underscore collect2: ld returned 1 exit status If I try to run the ogg123 application I get this:

Hello, I have written a libsndfile (http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/) file output plugin for libao. For the moment I haven't done any changes to the core of libao. However some changes could make this more useful. Before I embark on anything like this I'd like to have your opinion on a few things. --- First, what do you prefer ? 1a. Keeping the AU/WAV/RAW plugins and adding

I installed fink and now I have the /sw/lib, however that didn't fix my problem. I went as far as to take out the - Ddlsym=dlsym_auto_underscore out of the configuration files. Now however the libao package won't build at all and yips about this: [ukiel:/MP3/OGG/libao-0.8.6] wind% make Making all in src Making all in plugins Making all in oss make[3]: Nothing to be done for

I have a test program that loads an AIFF or WAV file with libsndfile and plays then using libao. After running around in circles for a while, I found and fixed the problem, but I'm still confused as to why the solution works. Would someone please explain this to me so I don't trip over this again later in my project? I used sf_open_fd() to get a SNDFILE* pointer and an AF_INFO

hi, according to the FAQ flac supports multichannel formats. i had no luck with 1.1.4 though ( "Untitled.aif: ERROR: unsupported number channels 8 for AIFF" ), i guess that feature was added in 1.2? unfortunately, the binary for 1.2 does not run on OS X 10.4 (says libiconv is too old). i removed libiconv and reinstalled that from source, but then flac 1.2.1 just prints

Hi, Thanks everyone for all you help I am getting there slowly :-) never install so many RPM's it been a good learning curve. libshout2 were do I get this rpm from as I cannot find this one anyware ?? also when trying to install libao-0.8.3-2.i386.rpm I get the following:- # rpm -i libao-0.8.3-2.i386.rpm error: failed dependencies: libaudiofile.so.0 is needed by libao-0.8.3-2

Hello Dan Johnson, hello list, It's really weird that there's no working command line player for FLAC files. Dan Johnson created flac123 (licensed under the GPL) to fill that gap, and started the flac-tools project. Unfortunately, flac123 doesn't work anymore with the latest FLAC, and the flac-tools project has been idle for more than a year. I created a patch that makes flac123

I know this is probably blindingly obvious, but I can't find it anywhere. Is there a way to tell the Vorbis codec what endian your samples are or do I have to do my own byte reversal. AIFF is Be's 'standard' audio file format, and its encoded big endian, not little endian even on Intel boxes. I know for decoding ov_read has an endian option, but I can't see an equaivalent for

Thank you for the reply! I know that my system can play flac files, I've played others I've managed to convert using both of those programs. I'm only running into difficulty when it comes to these large WAV files. By "Does not work" I mean that they do not play, and instead I receive the errors I mentioned in my original post. I wasn't actually intending to use

Why has ao been changed so that there are now two open() functions ? IMHO the original ao_open() was fine - if you wanted to set the filename for output, you could add an option via ao_append_option and if you wanted to avoid overwriting an existing file, you could stat() it yourself. Having ao_open_live() and ao_open_file() just makes more work for the user of the library for no gain, AFAICT.

flac.exe is choking on some aiff files as input with the following: "ERROR: SSND chunk size inconsistent with sample frame count" According to Daren on the dBpoweramp forum "The flac.exe program ignores the amount of data bytes quoted in the SSND chunk and tries to read to the end of the file, which would be fine if the SSND data was the last data in the file. The problem is

I can now load and play AIFF, WAV, and OGG files using libsndfile and libao. Now I'm moving on to loading and playing files embedded in an IFF file. This is presenting a problem. Playing an AIFF embedded in an IFF works fine. Playing an OGG embedded in the same IFF fails. Specifically, it appears that sf_open_fd() can't figure out what it's being told to load. Except for

just recently I have finished implementing support for saving non-audio chunks in RIFF WAVE and AIFF with the FLAC file in application metadata blocks, and restoring them when decoding. you can read about more about it here: http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=56968 the zip file there has windows binaries; CVS HEAD has everything checked in if you need a different platform.

I'm having several problems with ogg123 on a FreeBSD-STABLE machine. In each case, ogg123 dumps core complaining about a bus error. 1) ogg123 plays all files at what seems like twice the correct speed. When given a SIGINT, ogg123 dumps core. This is using the program defaults, including the OSS driver. Here's a backtrace from gdb: Core was generated by `ogg123'. Program
