NAME

audioeditor - command line program for editing WAVE audio files.

SYNOPSIS

    audioedit -h

    audioedit -v

    audioedit -p FILE

    audioedit *OPTION* -i FILE [FILE] -o FILE

DESCRIPTION

audioedit reads the input file(s) and generates desired output file to the disk. Currently, audioedit supports three operations: trimming, joining, and merging. In addition, it also supports WAVE playback.

OPTIONS

-h : Display this help.

-v : Display the version number and built information (when possible).

-tb n : Trim n samples from the beginning for the audio clip

-te m : Trim m samples off the end of the audio clip

-j : Join the input files.

-m : Merge the input files.

-p : Play the input files.

-i FILE [...] : Specify the input file names.

-o FILE : Specify the output file name(overwriting an existing file).

FILE

audioedit expects different numbers of FILEs upon different operations. To be specific, it expects:

Exactly 1 input file for trimming.
Exactly 1 input file for playing.
Exactly 2 input files for merging and joining.

EXAMPLES

Trim the first 100000 samples and the last 100000 samples of the file foo.wav and save the resultant file to bar.wav.
```
  audioedit -tb 100000 -te 100000 -i foo.wav -o bar.wav
```

Join foo.wav with bar.wav and save to foobar.wav.

  audioedit -j -i foo.wav bar.wav -o foobar.wav

Merge foo.wav with bar.wav and save to foobar.wav.

  audioedit -m -i foo.wav bar.wav -o foobar.wav

Play foo.wav.
```
  audioedit -p foo.wav
```

BUGS

This program cannot directly play audio on the latest version of Ubuntu because the playback depends on OSS while Ubuntu has switched to Pulse(alsa-based). Instead, use: padsp audioedit -p foo.wav if you want to play the audio.
This program cannot play audio on Mac OS X because Mac OS X has its own set of APIs(for example, QuickTimes).
Merging is only possible for files that have bit-per-sample of 8 or 16.
