Embedded Sound Files.

Chris@40: Chris@40:

Chris@40: By using the open SNDFILE with a file descriptor function: Chris@40:

Chris@40: Chris@40:

Chris@40:       SNDFILE*  sf_open_fd (int fd, int mode, SF_INFO *sfinfo, int close_desc) ;
Chris@40:

Chris@40: Chris@40:

Chris@40: it is possible to open sound files embedded within larger files. Chris@40: There are however a couple of caveats: Chris@40:

Chris@40: Chris@40:

Read/Write mode (SFM_RDWR) is not supported. Chris@40:
Writing of embedded files is only supported at the end of the file. Chris@40:
Reading of embedded files is only supported at file offsets greater Chris@40: than zero. Chris@40:
Not all file formats are supported (currently only WAV, AIFF and AU). Chris@40:

Chris@40: Chris@40:

Chris@40: The test program multi_file_test.c in the tests/ directory of the Chris@40: source code tarball shows how this functionality is used to read and write Chris@40: embedded files. Chris@40:
