msndfile is a suite of MATLAB Mex wrappers of the
libsndfile C library for reading and
writing audio files. Currently, it consists of of two functions:
msndfile.read and msndfile.blockread. The former is intended as an API
compatible replacement for wavread(), latter is intended for reading audio
files block-wise, for instance to process large files that don't fit in RAM.
Due to the use of libsndfile, msndfile
supports more formats than wavread, such as various WAV version not supported by
wavread (e.g., ADPCM, µ-law and A-law), OGG Vorbis
and (in my opinion much more interesting) the Free Lossless Audio Codec
FLAC.
Still missing are the corresponding functions for writing data: msndfile.write
and msndfile.blockwrite. Just as with msndfile.read, msndfile.write is
supposed to be API-compatible with wavwrite.
There are two ways to compile msndfile. The easy way, in Matlab, is to type
compile_msndfile to compile all Mex extensions. The resulting package
directory +msndfile should be copied to a location in MATLABs path.
There is also a more flexible build system based on SCons that can also
generate a Visual Studio IDE project file and can be integrated into other IDEs
like Eclipse. This build system is explained in more detail in the full
documentation on the project homepage
(or in the doc directory in the source repository).
