If you're debugging you may not care about the file format, you're
actually interested in the raw data you get from the codec so dumping
the output to a raw file would be useful even if you can't load that
file into a music player.
While I agree with you on this, am worried that adding codecs may make
people think that we can record mp3 file for exmaple, which is not the case.
I think we can add pcm and bespoke as formats supported and allow any format to
be dumped to stdio. That way it is pretty clear to people ...
Crec as is it is pretty useless with PCM only...If we added the profile
selection and things like bitrate information it'd be straightforward to
support elementary bitstreams like MP3 or AAC ADTS, you just dump the
data to a file. Things that require a header or MP4 integration would
require additional libraries, this is no longer 'tiny'.
