First public release of WMAEncodeRS — a command-line Windows Media Audio (and xWMA) encoder/decoder, in Rust, using the built-in Windows Media runtime (wmvcore.dll). A modern, hardened Rust port of lvqcl's WMAEncode that also natively reimplements both directions of Microsoft's xWMAEncode.
Features
- Encode WAV / raw PCM →
.wma(WMA Standard / Professional / Lossless / Voice) in CBR / VBR / two-pass modes, with tagging. - xWMA (
.xwma, RIFF/XWMA for XAudio2) encode with an accuratedpdsseek table. - Bidirectional: decode
.wma→ WAV and.xwma→ WAV. - stdin input, stdout piping (Foobar2000-friendly),
--verbose,--longhelp. - DRM-free output; uses the same Microsoft encoder Windows itself uses.
Quality
- Memory-safe:
#![deny(unsafe_code)]; allunsafeconfined to the audited COM/FFI modules. - Parsers fuzzed with
cargo-fuzz(two WAV-parser robustness bugs found & fixed, regression-tested).
