The same calls for opening a file, accessing and 18manipulating audio metadata (e.g. sample rate, sample format, textual 19information, MIDI parameters), and reading and writing sample data will 20work with any supported audio file format. Likewise, the format of the 21audio data presented to the application need not be tied to the format 22of the data contained in the file. 23 24The following file formats are currently supported: 25* AIFF/AIFF-C 26* WAVE 27* NeXT .snd/Sun .au 28* Berkeley/IRCAM/CARL Sound File 29* Audio Visual Research 30* Amiga IFF/8SVX 31* Sample Vision 32* Creative Voice File 33* NIST SPHERE 34* Core Audio Format 35* FLAC 36 37The following compression formats are currently supported: 38* G.711 mu-law and A-law 39* IMA ADPCM 40* Microsoft ADPCM 41* FLAC 42* Apple Lossless Audio Codec 43 44The Audio File Library itself is available under the GNU Lesser General 45Public License, and the programs in this package are available under the 46GNU General Public License.
