sndcompress - compress or decompress a soundfile
SYNOPSIS
sndcompress [ -<n> ] [ -l ] inputFile outputFile
DESCRIPTION
Sndcompress
compresses or decompresses a soundfile. If the input soundfile is in a
16 bit linear format, it is compressed. If the input soundfile is in a
compressed format, it is decompressed. The options control the compression
type; by default, (no options specified), Audio Transform Compression (ATC)
is used.
OPTIONS
- -<n>
-
This option controls the compression amount for lossy compression.
Specify <n> as an integer: 4 <= n <= 8. Higher numbers give greater
compression.
- -l
-
This option specifies lossless compression. A subsequent decompression
will reproduce the original sound exactly.
