NAME

6       oggdec  -  simple  decoder,  Ogg Vorbis file to PCM audio file (Wave or
7       RAW).

SYNOPSIS

11       oggdec [ -QhV ] [ -b bits_per_sample ] [ -e endianness ] [ -R  ]  [  -s
12       signedness ] [ -o outputfile ] file ...

DESCRIPTION

16       oggdec decodes Ogg Vorbis files into PCM-encoded ("uncompressed") audio
17       files, either Wave or RAW format.
18
19       For each input file, oggdec writes to a filename  based  on  the  input
20       filename,  but with the extension changed to ".wav" or ".raw" as appro‐
21       priate.
22
23       If the input file is specified as - , then oggdec will read from stdin,
24       and  write  to stdout unless an output filename is specified. Likewise,
25       an output filename of - will cause output to be to stdout.
26
27       Writing Wave format to stdout is a bad idea.  Wave requires a  seekable
28       medium  for  the  header  to be rewritten after all the data is written
29       out; stdout is not seekable.

OPTIONS

33       -Q, --quiet
34              Suppresses program output.
35
36       -h, --help
37              Print help message.
38
39       -V, --version
40              Display version information.
41
42       -b n, --bits=n
43              Bits per sample.  Valid values are 8 or 16.
44
45       -e n, --endianness=n
46              Set endianness for 16-bit output.  0 (default) is  little-endian
47              (Intel byte order).  1 is big-endian (sane byte order).
48
49       -R, --raw
50              Output  in raw format.  If not specified, writes Wave file (RIFF
51              headers).
52
53       -s n, --sign=n
54              Set signedness for output.  0  for  unsigned,  1  (default)  for
55              signed.
56
57       -o filename, --output=filename
58              Write  output  to specified filename.  This option is only valid
59              if one input [file] is specified, or if raw mode is used.

EXAMPLES

63       Decode a file enabler.ogg to enabler.wav
64        as little-endian unsigned 16-bit (default options):
65              oggdec enabler.ogg
66
67       Decode a file enabler.ogg to enabler.raw  as  headerless  little-endian
68       unsigned 16-bit:
69              oggdec --raw=1 enabler.ogg
70
71       Decode enabler.ogg to enabler.crazymonkey as unsigned 8-bit:
72              oggdec -b 8 -s 0 -o enabler.crazymonkey enabler.ogg
73
74       Decode  enabler.ogg  to enabler.raw as big-endian signed 16-bit (any of
75       the following):
76              oggdec -R -e 1 -b 16 enabler.ogg
77              oggdec -R -e 1 -b 16 -o enabler.raw - < enabler.ogg
78              oggdec -R -e 1 -b 16 - < enabler.ogg > enabler.raw
79
80       Mass decoding (foo.ogg to foo.wav,  bar.ogg  to  bar.wav,  quux.ogg  to
81       quux.wav, etc.):
82              oggdec *.ogg
