DESCRIPTION

The sfconvert tool can be used to convert audio files from one audio format to another. The files' audio formats have to be supported by R libaudiofile .

OPTIONS

The following keywords specify the format of the output sound file:
byteorder e
Desired endianness of output sample data. e may be one of big or little.
channels n
Number of output channels. n is 1 for mono, and 2 for stereo files.
format f
Audio format of output file. f has to be one of the currently supported formats: aiff (Audio Interchange File Format), aifc (AIFF-C File Format), next (NeXT/Sun Format), wave (MS RIFF WAVE Format), or bics (Berkeley/IRCAM/CARL Sound File Format).
integer n s
Produce integer samples. n specifies the width of individual samples in bits, s yields the encoding and may be one of 2scomp (2's complement signed data), or unsigned (unsigned data). The integer and float options (see below) are mutually exclusive.
float m
Produce floating point samples with a maximum amplitude of m (usually 1.0). This options may not be used together with option integer.
