=== What is it? === This is a Perl interface to libsndfile C library, which provides common interface for handling various sound formats. With this module, you will be able to handle supported sound formats in Perl also. In addition to usual I/O interface, it also provides additional interface to handle PDL (Perl Data Language) object directly, so sound data manipulation can be done much efficiently compared to manipulation using standard Perl scalar. === Requirements === To compile/install this module, following packages are required: - libsndfile library (from http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/) - PDL.pm (Perl Data Language module, available from CPAN) === Installation === Standard procedure of perl Makefile.PL make make test make install should work fine. You might also want to check out code in bin/ folder. === Known Bugs === I have been experiencing strange behavior of bseek/fseek method, which does seeks, but returns unreliable value for some reason. I'm looking into libsndfile right now on this issue. === Environment === I have developed/tested the code on Debian GNU/Linux (lenny/amd64). === Contact Address === Please send bug reports/comments to: Taisuke Yamada
