Monkey's Audio (aka APE) is a lossless audio compression format,
|
|
|
|
|
similar to FLAC. mac is a console frontend to Monkey's Audio, able to
|
|
|
|
|
encode and decode APE audio files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note: if you just want to listen to APE files, Slackware's mplayer
|
|
|
|
|
and audacious can already play them. If you just want to convert them
|
|
|
|
|
to some other format (wav, mp3, etc), Slackware's ffmpeg can already
|
|
|
|
|
decode them. The only real reason to install this package is for
|
|
|
|
|
converting files *to* APE format.

If you're building this for an old x86 CPU that doesn't support MMX,
|
|
|
|
|
set ASM=no in the script's environment.

The package is built using upstream's default optimization level,
|
|
|
|
|
which is -O3. If you suspect this is causing problems, rebuild with
|
|
|
|
|
FORCE_SLACK_CFLAGS=yes in the environment (this will force -O2). If this
|
|
|
|
|
actually fixes anything, please email the maintainer with the details.

Note: if you get "invalid input file" trying to encode a wav file, it
|
|
|
|
|
probably means the wav file uses floating point rather than 16-bit
|
|
|
|
|
integer samples. You can convert with sox:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sox -G input.wav -b16 output.wav
