SNDFILE-CONVERT(1)	  BSD General Commands Manual	    SNDFILE-CONVERT(1)

NAME
     sndfile-convert — convert sound files from one format to another

SYNOPSIS
     sndfile-convert [-override-sample-rate=rate] [-endian=little | big | cpu]
		     [-normalize] [encoding] input output

DESCRIPTION
     sndfile-convert converts sound files from one audio format to another.
     The output file is overwritten it it already exists.

   Formats
     The format of the output file is determined by the filename extension.
     The following file formats are currently recognized:

     wav    WAV (Microsoft)
     aif    AIFF (Apple/SGI)
     au	    AU (Sun/NeXT)
     snd    AU (Sun/NeXT)
     raw    RAW (header-less)
     gsm    RAW (header-less)
     vox    RAW (header-less)
     paf    PAF (Ensoniq PARIS, big-endian)
     fap    PAF (Ensoniq PARIS, little-endian)
     svx    IFF (Amiga IFF/SVX8/SV16)
     nist   SPHERE (NIST SPeech HEader Resources)
     sph    SPHERE (NIST SPeech HEader Resources)
     voc    VOC (Creative Labs)
     ircam  SF (Berkeley/IRCAM/CARL)
     sf	    SF (Berkeley/IRCAM/CARL)
     w64    W64 (SoundFoundry WAVE 64)
     mat    MAT4 (GNU Octave 2.0 / Matlab 4.2)
     mat4   MAT4 (GNU Octave 2.0 / Matlab 4.2)
     mat5   MAT5 (GNU Octave 2.1 / Matlab 5.0)
     pvf    PVF (Portable Voice Format)
     xi	    XI (FastTracker 2)
     htk    HTK (HMM Tool Kit)
     sds    SDS (Midi Sample Dump Standard)
     avr    AVR (Audio Visual Research)
     wavex  WAVEX (MS WAVE with WAVEFORMATEX)
     sd2    SD2 (Sound Designer II)
     flac   FLAC (FLAC Lossless Audio Codec)
     caf    CAF (Apple Core Audio File)
     wve    WVE (Psion Series 3)
     prc    WVE (Psion Series 3)
     ogg    OGG (OGG Container format)
     oga    OGG (OGG Container format)
     mpc    MPC (Akai MPC 2k)
     rf64   RF64 (RIFF 64)

   Options
     The following options are recoginzed:

     -override-sample-rate=rate	 Make the input use sample rate of rate Hz.
     -endian=little		 Make the output file use little endian data.
     -endian=big		 Make the output file use big endian data.
     -endian=cpu		 Make the output file use CPU endianness.
     -normalize			 Normalize the audio data in the output file.

   Encodings
     The optional encoding parameter allows setting of the data encoding for
     the output file.  The following encodings are currently supported:

     -pcms8	  signed 8 bit pcm
     -pcmu8	  unsigned 8 bit pcm
     -pcm16	  16 bit pcm
     -pcm24	  24 bit pcm
     -pcm32	  32 bit pcm
     -float32	  32 bit floating point
     -ulaw	  ULAW
     -alaw	  ALAW
     -ima-adpcm	  IMA ADPCM (WAV only)
     -ms-adpcm	  MS ADPCM (WAV only)
     -gsm610	  GSM6.10 (WAV only)
     -dwvw12	  12 bit DWVW (AIFF only)
     -dwvw16	  16 bit DWVW (AIFF only)
     -dwvw24	  24 bit DWVW (AIFF only)
     -vorbis	  Vorbis (OGG only)

     If no encoding is specified for the output file, sndfile-convert will try
     to use the encoding of the input file.  This will not always work as most
     container formats (e.g. WAV, AIFF etc) only support a small subset of
     encodings (e.g. 16 bit PCM, a-law, Vorbis etc).

EXIT STATUS
     The sndfile-convert utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error
     occurs.
