Re: audioread function

[Nicanor García]

Hello, thanks for your help Mike, your suggestion worked perfectly.

Now the problem I face is that I need to open some audio files encoded with Opus codec (an open-source audio codec that is intended to be the new standard by the IETF), does anyone know if this is possible with Octave?

Thank you very much.

The octave-audio package is old and unmaintained, you'd be better off
uninstalling it. To use the audioread function you'll have to use Octave
version 4.0 or newer. For Debian, you can install Octave 4.0 from the
jessie-backports repository.
