NAME

5     multi-channel file and vice versa

SYNOPSIS

8     sndfile-interleave input1 input2 ... -o output
9     sndfile-deinterleave file
10

DESCRIPTION

12     sndfile-interleave creates a multi-channel file taking audio data from
13     two or more mono files as individual channels.  The format of the output
14     file is determined by its filename suffix.  The audio parameters of the
15     output file will be made so that the format can accommodate each of the
16     mono inputs; for example, the samplerate will be the maximal samplerate
17     occurring in the inputs.  The output file will be overwritten if it
18     already exists.
19
20     sndfile-deinterleave creates two or more mono files from a multi-channel
21     audio file, containing data from the individual channels. The names of
22     the resulting mono files are of the form “name_XY.suf” where name and suf
23     are the basename and suffix of the original file.  If any file of such
24     name already exists, it will be overwritten.  Apart from the number of
25     channels, the audio format of the resulting mono files is the same as
26     that of the original file.

37     Split a multi-channel into individual mono files:
38
39           $ sndfile-deinterleave multi.wav
40           Input file : multi
41           Output files :
42               multi_00.wav
