man sfront (Commandes) - MPEG 4 Structured Audio decoder.

NAME

sfront - MPEG 4 Structured Audio decoder.

SYNOPSIS

sfront [options]

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the sfront command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a general manual page. Instead, it has documentation in the HTML format; see below.

sfront is a program that compiles MPEG 4 Structured Audio (MP4-SA) bitstreams into efficient C programs that generate audio when executed. It supports real-time, low-latency audio input/output and MIDI input from soundcards.

You must compile the C file generated after sfront execution with a C compiler, and execute the resulting program to get the audio output.

A summary of the most important options is included below. For a complete description, see the HTML manual.
