[AIFF] no encoder available
Last modified: 2009-10-19 14:49:23 UTC
There is no encoder for the AIFF file format.
Yes, no AIFF encoder yet. If you are interested in working on one then it is probably rather simple to make. The wavenc plugin should be a good place to look for example code.
Still no encoder in 0.10.
Maybe a wrapper to either of these two libraries would fit the job: libsndfile (http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/) LGPL audiofile (http://www.68k.org/~michael/audiofile/) LGPL libsndfile seems more maintained that audiofile though.
We used to have plugins for encoding/decoding using these libraries, but they're not very good by 2006 standards. E.g., they make it nearly impossible to write decent encoding/decoding elements with them.
This bug should be closed, since we don't need to keep track of enhancement bugs that nobody is going to work on.
Let's just mark this as duplicate of the bug that has a patch. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 598763 ***
