Hi all
I have two files, file reports the following on them:
RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, mono 44100 Hz
RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 16 bit, mono 44100 Hz
How can I convert the first to something that has the "Microsoft PCM, 16
bit"-part in file's output? Sox always seems to output the former...
NB: It's for input into another program that is very picky with it's
file type, so far it seems that only files with "Microsoft PCM..." works.

Hi
PCM is an encoding often used in *.wav files.
More info here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_pulse-code_modulation
Try to encode with libsndfile:
(ubuntu:)
apt-get install sndfile-programs libsndfile1
sndfile-convert --help
shows different options, as -pcm16 etc.

Also, I found this page that has a kind of online (html5) encoder:
http://www.codebase.es/
Far more important: You can play the gameboy online there ;)

Thanks, in the meantime I found that mplayer outputs "Microsoft PCM"
.wav-files.

If you have ecasound installed, I'm pretty sure it outputs that
format
by default, so:
$ ecasound -f:16,1,44100 -i:oldfile.wav -o:newfile.wav
...Should do it.

Would I be able to get a copy of those two files (assuming they're
small)? Or at least send me the sndfile-info output on bot files?
Cheers,

The one that you say is:
RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, mono 44100 Hz
is a plain WAV file that conforms to the original WAV spec. sndfile-info
says:
File : m.wav
Length : 93164
RIFF : 93156
WAVE
fmt : 16
Format : 0x1 => WAVE_FORMAT_PCM
Channels : 1
Sample Rate : 44100
Block Align : 2
Bit Width : 16
Bytes/sec : 88200
data : 93120
This one on the other hand:
RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 16 bit, mono 44100 Hz
conforms to a more recent spec and uses Microsoft's WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE
layout. sndfile-info says:
File : f.wav
Length : 992330
RIFF : 992322
WAVE
fmt : 40
Format : 0xFFFE => WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE
Channels : 1
Sample Rate : 44100
Block Align : 3
Bit Width : 24
Bytes/sec : 132300
Valid Bits : 24
Channel Mask : 0x4
Subformat
esf_field1 : 0x1
esf_field2 : 0x0
esf_field3 : 0x10
esf_field4 : 0x80 0x0 0x0 0xAA 0x0 0x38 0x9B 0x71
format : pcm
fact : 4
frames : 330750
data : 992250
If you wish to generate one of these using libsndfile, use the SF_FORMAT_WAVEX
subformat instead of SF_FORMAT_WAV.
HTH,
Erik

Ok, thanks for looking into this. I feel the horrors of video codexes
and containers crawling up on me. Until yesterday a wav was a was for me...
