| oggdec - simple decoder, Ogg Vorbis file to PCM audio file (WAV or RAW). |
| oggdec [ -Qhv ] [ -b bits_per_sample ] [ -e endianness ] [ -R ] [ -s signedness ] [ -o outputfile ] file ... |
| oggdec decodes Ogg Vorbis files into PCM-encoded ("uncompressed") audio files, either WAV or RAW format. |
| For each input file, oggdec writes to a filename based on the input filename, but with the extension changed to ".wav" or ".raw" as appropriate. |
| If the input file is specified as - , then oggdec will read from stdin, and write to stdout unless an output filename is specified. Likewise, an output filename of - will cause output to be to stdout. |
| Writing WAV format to stdout is a bad idea. WAV requires a seekable medium for the header to be rewritten after all the data is written out; stdout is not seekable. |
| -Q, --quiet |
| Suppresses program output. |
| -h, --help |
| Print help message. |
| -v, --version |
| Display version information. |
| -b n, --bits=n |
| Bits per sample. Valid values are 8 or 16. |
| -e n, --endian=n |
| Set endianness for 16-bit output. 0 (default) is little-endian (Intel byte order). 1 is big-endian (sane byte order). |
| -R, --raw |
| Output in raw format. If not specified, writes WAV file (RIFF headers). |
| -s n, --sign=n |
| Set signedness for output. 0 for unsigned, 1 (default) for signed. |
| -o filename, --output=filename |
| Write output to specified filename. This option is only valid if one input [file] is specified. |
| Decode a file enabler.ogg to enabler.wav as little-endian unsigned 16-bit (default options): |
| oggdec enabler.ogg |
| Decode a file enabler.ogg to enabler.raw as headerless little-endian unsigned 16-bit: |
| oggdec --raw=1 enabler.ogg |
| Decode enabler.ogg to enabler.crazymonkey as unsigned 8-bit: |
| oggdec -b 8 -s 0 -o enabler.crazymonkey enabler.ogg |
| Decode enabler.ogg to enabler.raw as big-endian signed 16-bit (any of the following): |
| oggdec -R -e 1 -b 16 enabler.ogg |
| oggdec -R -e 1 -b 16 -o enabler.raw - < enabler.ogg |
| oggdec -R -e 1 -b 16 - < enabler.ogg > enabler.raw |
| Mass decoding (foo.ogg to foo.wav, bar.ogg to bar.wav, quux.ogg to quux.wav, etc.): |
