Usage: sndcat inputFile0 inputFile1 ... inputFileN outputFile
Parameters
One or more input wave files, and a single output file.
The name '-' indicates stdin for an input file and stdout for
the output file.
Results are undefined if the user specifies stdin more than once
as an input file.
Function
Creates a single output file containing all channels of the input files.
Each sample of each input channel is divided by 256 - that is, it is not
simply copied to the output file, but is first reduced in magnitude.
Channels 0, 1, ... of inputFile0 become channels 0, 1, ... of
the output file. Channels from each successive input file are
added in turn.
Samples are added to the output file channels completely ignoring
the sampling frequencies of the input files -- there is no attempt
to interpolate from an input file's sample rate to the output file's
rate.
The number of samples in each of the output file's channels is
equal to the largest number in any of the input channels.
Input channels are zero-padded, if necessary. (That is, once the
data in an input channel is exhausted, zeroes are introduced into the
corresponding output channel as needed.)
Output File Format
| #Channels | sum of number in the input files
|
| Frequency | frequency of inputFile0
|
| Sample size | 32-bits
