This plugin wraps the SGI Audiofile (http://oss.sgi.com/projects/audiofile/) library into a src and sink element. You can read from and write to the supported formats (WAVE, AIFF, AIFFC, NEXTSND). What is supported : * all the file formats * integer sample data, both 2's complement and unsigned * 8 or 16 bit width & depth (haven't tested others) * sample rate * some sort of endianness control What isn't supported yet : * float data What you can do : * src element only accepts location argument * sink element accepts location, endianness and type - location : file on the system to output - endianness : at this time endianness is still a bit shady you can either set 1234 or 4321; setting it to 4321 will byteswap the buffer data you might want to keep it at 1234 for now - type : one of the file types Use gstreamer-inspect on afsink and afsrc to see all of the supported options. Examples : * tools/gstreamer-launch afsrc location=/opt/media/wav/dark-480-16-m.wav ! afsink type=2 location=/opt/media/wav/dark-480-16-m.aiff Future plans : * add float support * wrap up afsink and afsrc with pipe and fork to act like data convertors, allowing arbitrary choice of sink and src element
