FWIW, this task is incredibly easy in SuperCollider: // Open an existing sound file // Automatically parses the header f = SoundFile.openRead(Platform.resourceDir +/+ "sounds/a11wlk01.wav"); // Jump ahead to a given "sample frame" // f.sampleRate "frames" always corresponds to 1 sec, // no matter how many channels f.seek(4410); // 0.1 seconds in // Allocate space for the samples, and get them // Channels are interleaved d = FloatArray.newClear(50); f.readData(d); f.close; // Push them out to a text file o = File("~/samples.txt", "w"); d.do { |sample| o << sample << Char.nl }; o.close; It's also possible to rework this (fairly minor adjustments) to run it from the commandline. No time to do it at the moment -- maybe later, if anyone is curious. hjh _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
