- Libsndfile is a C library for reading and writing files containing sampled sound
- (such as MS Windows WAV and the Apple/SGI AIFF format) through one standard
- library interface. It is released in source code format under the
- <A HREF="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/lesser.html">Gnu Lesser General Public License</A>.
-</P>
-<!-- pepper -->
-<P>
- The library was written to compile and run on a Linux system but should compile
- and run on just about any Unix (including MacOS X).
- There are also pre-compiled binaries available for 32 and 64 bit windows.
-</P>
-<P>
- It was designed to handle both little-endian (such as WAV) and big-endian
- (such as AIFF) data, and to compile and run correctly on little-endian (such as Intel
- and DEC/Compaq Alpha) processor systems as well as big-endian processor systems such
- as Motorola 68k, Power PC, MIPS and Sparc.
- Hopefully the design of the library will also make it easy to extend for reading and
- writing new sound file formats.
-</P>
-<!-- pepper -->
-<P>
- It has been compiled and tested (at one time or another) on the following systems:
-</P>
-<!-- pepper -->
-<UL>
- <LI>Every platform supported by Debian GNU/Linux including x86_64-linux-gnu,
- i486-linux-gnu, powerpc-linux-gnu, sparc-linux-gnu, alpha-linux-gnu,
- mips-linux-gnu and armel-linux-gnu.</LI>
- <LI>arm-linux-androideab (Android phones OS)</LI>

- <LI>QNX 6.0</LI>
- <LI>i386-unknown-openbsd2.9</LI>

-<P>
- At the moment, each new release is being tested on i386 Linux, x86_64 Linux,
- PowerPC Linux, Win32 and Win64.

-<H1><B>Features</B></H1>
-<P>
- libsndfile has the following main features :
-</P>
- <UL>
- <lI> Ability to read and write a large number of file formats.
- <LI> A simple, elegant and easy to use Applications Programming Interface.
- <LI> Usable on Unix, Win32, MacOS and others.
- <LI> On the fly format conversion, including endian-ness swapping, type conversion
- and bitwidth scaling.
- <LI> Optional normalisation when reading floating point data from files containing
- integer data.
- <LI> Ability to open files in read/write mode.
- <LI> The ability to write the file header without closing the file (only on files
- open for write or read/write).
- <LI> Ability to query the library about all supported formats and retrieve text
- strings describing each format.
- </UL>
-<P>
- libsndfile has a comprehensive test suite so that each release is as bug free
- as possible.
- When new bugs are found, new tests are added to the test suite to ensure that
- these bugs don't creep back into the code.
- When new features are added, tests are added to the test suite to make sure that
- these features continue to work correctly even when they are old features.

- The following table lists the file formats and encodings that libsndfile can read
- and write.
- The file formats are arranged across the top and encodings along the left

- I have decided that I will not be adding support for MPEG Layer 3 (commonly

-<A NAME="History"></A>
-<H1><B>History</B></H1>
-<P>
- My first attempt at reading and writing WAV files was in 1990 or so under Windows
- 3.1.
- I started using Linux in early 1995 and contributed some code to the
- <A HREF="http://www.vaxxine.com/ve3wwg/gnuwave.html">wavplay</A>
- program.
- That contributed code would eventually mutate into this library.
- As one of my interests is Digital Signal Processing (DSP) I decided that as well as
- reading data from an audio file in the native format (typically 16 bit short integers)
- it would also be useful to be able to have the library do the conversion to floating
- point numbers for DSP applications.
- It then dawned on me that whatever file format (anything from 8 bit unsigned chars,
- to 32 bit floating point numbers) the library should be able to convert the data to
- whatever format the library user wishes to use it in.
- For example, in a sound playback program, the library caller typically wants the sound
- data in 16 bit short integers to dump into a sound card even though the data in the
- file may be 32 bit floating point numbers (ie Microsoft's WAVE_FORMAT_IEEE_FLOAT
- format).
- Another example would be someone doing speech recognition research who has recorded
- some speech as a 16 bit WAV file but wants to process it as double precision floating
- point numbers.
