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
