The Silicon Graphics Audio File Library provides a uniform programming interface to standard digital audio file formats.
|
|
Currently supported sound file formats include AIFF/AIFF-C, WAVE, NeXT/Sun .snd/.au, and Berkeley/IRCAM/CARL.
|
|
Supported compression formats are currently G.711 mu-law and A-law and IMA and MS ADPCM.
|
|
Key goals of the Audio File Library are file format transparency and data format transparency.
|
|
The same calls for opening a file, accessing and manipulating audio metadata (e.g., sample rate, sample format, textual information, MIDI parameters), and reading/writing sample data will work with any supported audio file format.
|
|
Likewise, the format of the audio data presented to the application need not be tied to the format of the data contained in the file.
