4 The afh (audio format handler) receiver can be used to write
5 selected parts of the given audio file without decoding
8 The selected parts of the content of the audio file are passed
9 to the child nodes of the buffer tree. Only complete chunks
10 with respect of the underlying audio format are passed.
17 string typestr = "filename"
20 option "begin-chunk" b
21 #~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
22 "skip a number of chunks"
23 int typestr = "chunk_num"
27 The chunk_num argument must be between -num_chunks and
28 num_chunks - 1 inclusively where num_chunks is the total number
29 of chunks which is printed when using the --info option. If
30 chunk_num is negative, the given number of chunks are counted
31 backwards from the end of the file. For example --begin_chunk
32 -100 instructs para_afh to start output at chunk num_chunks
33 - 100. This is mainly useful for cutting off the end of an
39 "only write up to chunk chunk_num"
40 int typestr = "chunk_num"
43 For the chunk_num argument the same rules as for --begin_chunk
44 apply. The default is to write up to the last chunk.
47 option "just-in-time" j
48 #~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
52 Write the specified chunks of data 'just in time', i.e. the
53 write of each chunk is delayed until the time it is needed
54 by the decoder/player in order to guarantee an uninterrupted
55 audio stream. This may be useful for third-party software
56 that is capable of reading from stdin.
61 "do not write an audio file header"
64 If an audio format needs information about the audio file
65 in a format-specific header in order to be understood by
66 the decoding software, a suitable header is automatically
67 send. This option changes the default behaviour, i.e. no
