The
auconvert program can be used to convert from one sound file format,
and/or data format to another. It can also change the comment, sampling rate,
and volume of a sound file. Finally,
auconvert can be used to convert
raw audio data into a sound file. If no input file name is given, standard
input will be used. If no output file name is given, the original file will be
replaced by the converted file or standard out will be used if the input is
coming from standard input.
The following options may be used with
auconvert:
-
-file format
- The output file format. The -? option will display a list
of valid file formats.
-
-data format
- The output data format. The -? option will display a list
of valid data formats. Note that each file format may only support
selected data formats.
-
-rate sample rate
- The output sampling rate (in hertz).
-
-comment comment
- The comment to be stored in the output file.
-
-volume <percent>|`max'
- The volume option can be used in two ways. If the argument
is a percentage, the output file volume will be converted to the specified
percentage of the input volume. If the argument is the string `max', the
output file volume will be converted to its maximum level.
-
-raw <data format> <num
tracks>
- This option is used to convert raw audio data into a sound
file. <data format> is the data format of the raw data.
<num tracks> specifies the number of tracks in the raw data.
You must also use the -file and -rate options when
converting raw data.
