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
