# Audio::Sndfile

Binding to libsndfile ( http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/ )

[![CI](https://github.com/jonathanstowe/Audio-Sndfile/actions/workflows/main.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/jonathanstowe/Audio-Sndfile/actions/workflows/main.yml)

## Description

This library provides a mechanism to read and write audio data files in

various formats by using the API provided by libsndfile.

A full list of the formats it is able to work with can be found at:

http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/#Features

if you need to work with formats that aren't listed then you will need to

find another library.

The interface presented is slightly simplified with regard to that of

libsndfile and whilst it does nearly everything I need it do, I have opted

to release the most useful functionality early and progressively add

features as it becomes clear how they should be implemented.

The "examples" directory in the repository contains some sample code that

may be useful or indicate how you might achieve a particular task.

The full documentation is available as [Markdown](Documentation.md) or

as POD withing the module file.

## Installation

You will need to have "libsndfile"  installed on your system in order to

be able to use this. Most Linux distributions offer it as a package, though

it is such a common dependency for multimedia applications that you may well

already have it installed.

If you are on some platform that doesn't provide libsndfile as a package

then you may be able to install it from source:

http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/#Download

I am however unlikely to be able to offer help with installing it this way.

Assuming you have a working Rakudo installation you should be able to install this with *zef* :

    # From the source directory

   

    zef install .

    # Remote installation

    zef install Audio::Sndfile

## Support

Suggestions/patches are welcomed via github at

https://github.com/jonathanstowe/Audio-Sndfile/issues

There are several things that I know don't work properly at the time of the

first release:

    * May not work at all or be unstable on 32 bit systems

      ( This is because data that references the number of frames is

        native sized within libsndfile - when I have worked out how to

        do the equivalent of a conditional typedef I'll fix this .)

Also I'd prefer to keep features that aren't directly related to those

provided by libsndfile separate, so if you want to manipulate the data,

play the data to some audio device or stream it for instance you probably

want to consider making a new module.
