NAME
    oggdec - simple decoder, Ogg  Vorbis file to PCM audio file (WAV or
    RAW).

SYNOPSIS
    oggdec [ -Qhv ] [ -b bits_per_sample ] [ -e endianness ] [ -R rawness ]
    [ -s signedness ] [ -o outputfile ] file ...

DESCRIPTION
    oggdec decodes Ogg Vorbis files into PCM-encoded ("uncompressed") audio
    files, either WAV or RAW format.

    For each input file, oggdec writes to a filename  based on the  input
    filename, but with the extension changed to ".wav" or ".raw" as appro-
    priate.

    If the input file is specified as - , then oggdec will read from stdin,
    and write to stdout unless an output filename is specified. Likewise,
    an output filename of - will cause output to be to stdout.

    Writing WAV format to stdout is a bad idea. WAV  requires a seekable
    medium for the  header  to be rewritten after all the data is written
    out; stdout is not seekable.

OPTIONS
    -q, --quiet
    Suppresses program output.

    -h, --help
    Print help message.

    -v, --version
    Display version information.

    -b n, --bits=n
    Bits per sample. Valid values are 8 or 16.

    -e n, --endian=n
    Set endianness for 16-bit output.  0 (default) is  little-endian
    (Intel byte order). 1 is big-endian (sane byte order).

    -R n, --raw=n
    Output in raw format. If not specified, writes WAV file (RIFF
    headers).

    -s n, --sign=n
    Set signedness for output. 0 for unsigned, 1 (default) for
    signed.

    -o filename, --output=filename
    Write output to specified filename. This option is only valid
    if one input [file] is specified.

EXAMPLES
    Decode a file enabler.ogg to enabler.wav
 as little-endian unsigned 16-bit (default options):
    oggdec enabler.ogg

    Decode a file enabler.ogg to enabler.raw  as headerless  little-endian
    unsigned 16-bit:
    oggdec --raw=1 enabler.ogg

    Decode enabler.ogg to enabler.crazymonkey as unsigned 8-bit:
    oggdec -b 8 -s 0 -o enabler.crazymonkey enabler.ogg

    Decode enabler.ogg to enabler.raw as big-endian signed 16-bit (any of
    the following):
    oggdec -R 1 -e 1 -b 16 enabler.ogg
    oggdec -R 1 -e 1 -b 16 -o enabler.raw - < enabler.ogg
    oggdec -R 1 -e 1 -b 16 - < enabler.ogg > enabler.raw

    Mass decoding (foo.ogg to foo.wav, bar.ogg to bar.wav, quux.ogg to
    quux.wav, etc.):
    oggdec *.ogg
