Re: New GNU Radio dependency

[Kyle A Logue]

Thanks! I've had issues in the past creating multichannel WAV files in the particular format that GNU Radio wanted. I'll have to play with the new block and see how the multichannel support works for FLAC/OGG.

Subject: New GNU Radio dependency

 

For those building GNU Radio master branch from source, there is a new
dependency that was introduced today with commit
https://github.com/gnuradio/gnuradio/commit/18f64ba685cfc2533e2d7726aa43c524b007d97b.

On Ubuntu/Debian, it's:

sudo apt-get install libsndfile1-dev

This adds new capabilities to the WAV source and sink blocks. Specifically:

1) WAV files can now be unsigned 8-bit, 16-bit, 24-bit, 32-bit, float or
double.

2) FLAC format is supported.

3) Ogg Vorbis format is supported.

4) 64-bit WAV files (files greater than 2 GB items in length) are supported.
