bwavfile

Rust Wave File Reader/Writer with Broadcast-WAV, MBWF and RF64 Support

Features

This is currently a work-in-progress! However many features presently work:

• [x] Read standard WAV, Broadcast-Wave, and 64-bit RF64 and BW64 wave files with one interface for all types with transparent format detection.
• [ ] Wave/RF64 file writing with transparent promotion from WAV to RF64.
• [x] Unified format definition interface for standard and extended-format wave files.
• [x] Read channel/speaker map metadata.
• [x] Read standard EBU Broadcast-Wave metadata and decode to fields, including timestamp and SMPTE UMID.
• [x] iXML and ADM XML metadata.
• [ ] Broadcast-WAV Level and Quality metadata.
• [x] Cue list metadata.
• [ ] Sampler and instrument metadata.
• [x] Validate the compatibility of a given wave file for certain regimes.
• [x] Metadata support for ambisonic B-format.

Use Examples

Reading Audio Frames From a File

```rust

use bwavfile::WaveReader; let mut r = WaveReader::open("tests/media/ff_silence.wav").unwrap();

let format = r.format().unwrap(); asserteq!(format.samplerate, 44100); asserteq!(format.channelcount, 1);

let mut framereader = r.audioframereader().unwrap(); let mut buffer = framereader.createframebuffer();

let read = framereader.readinteger_frame(&mut buffer).unwrap();

asserteq!(buffer, [0i32]); asserteq!(read, 1); ```

Accessing Channel Descriptions

```rust use bwavfile::{WaveReader, ChannelMask};

let mut f = WaveReader::open("tests/media/pt24bit51.wav").unwrap();

let chans = f.channels().unwrap(); asserteq!(chans[0].index, 0); asserteq!(chans[0].speaker, ChannelMask::FrontLeft); asserteq!(chans[3].index, 3); asserteq!(chans[3].speaker, ChannelMask::LowFrequency); assert_eq!(chans[4].speaker, ChannelMask::BackLeft); ```

Note on Testing

All of the media for the integration tests is committed to the respository in zipped form. Before you can run tests, you need to cd into the tests directory and run the create_test_media.sh script. Note that one of the test files (the RF64 test case) is over four gigs in size.
