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 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.

OPTIONS

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