NAME
       sfconvert - convert between various audio formats

SYNOPSIS
       sfconvert infile outfile [ options ... ] [ output keywords
       ... ]

DESCRIPTION
       The sfconvert tool can be used to convert audio files from
       one  audio  format  to  another.  The files' audio formats
       have to be supported by libaudiofile.

OPTIONS
       The following keywords specify the format  of  the  output
       sound file:

       byteorder e
              Desired  endianness of output sample data. e may be
              one of big or little.

       channels n
              Number of output channels. n is 1 for mono,  and  2
              for stereo files.

       format f
              Audio format of output file. f has to be one of the
              currently supported  formats:  aiff  (Audio  Inter-
              change  File  Format),  aifc  (AIFF-C File Format),
              next (NeXT/Sun Format), wave (MS RIFF WAVE Format),
              or bics (Berkeley/IRCAM/CARL Sound File Format).

       integer n s
              Produce  integer  samples. n specifies the width of
              individual samples in bits, s yields  the  encoding
              and  may  be  one  of 2scomp (2's complement signed
              data), or unsigned (unsigned data). The integer and
              float options (see below) are mutually exclusive.

       float m
              Produce  floating  point  samples  with  a  maximum
              amplitude of m (usually 1.0). This options may  not
              be used together with option integer.
