NAME

       sndfile-interleave, sndfile-deinterleave — convert mono files into a multi-channel file and vice versa

SYNOPSIS

       sndfile-interleave input1 input2 ... -o output
       sndfile-deinterleave file

DESCRIPTION

       sndfile-interleave  creates  a  multi-channel  file  taking  audio  data  from  two or more mono files as
       individual channels.  The format of the output file is determined by  its  filename  suffix.   The  audio
       parameters  of  the  output file will be made so that the format can accommodate each of the mono inputs;
       for example, the samplerate will be the maximal samplerate occurring in the inputs.  The output file will
       be overwritten if it already exists.

       sndfile-deinterleave creates two or more mono files from a multi-channel audio file, containing data from
       the individual channels. The names of the resulting mono files are of the form “name_XY.suf”  where  name
       and  suf  are  the basename and suffix of the original file.  If any file of such name already exists, it
       will be overwritten.  Apart from the number of channels, the audio format of the resulting mono files  is
       the same as that of the original file.

EXIT STATUS

       The sndfile-interleave utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

EXAMPLES

       Merge a mono OGG file and a mono FLAC file into a stereo WAV file:

             $ sndfile-interleave left.ogg right.flac -o stereo.wav

       Split a multi-channel into individual mono files:

             $ sndfile-deinterleave multi.wav
             Input file : multi
             Output files :
                 multi_00.wav
                 multi_01.wav
                 multi_02.wav
                 multi_03.wav
