libsac

This is a reference implementation of the Simple Audio Compression (SAC) compression algorithms (4-bit and 8-bit DDPCM).

A simple conversion tool is included that enables conversion between SAC and WAVE format files.

The library is written in C++, but the API is plain C.

IMPORTANT!

This is experimental code. The library API will most likely change.

Building

To build the library and the conversion tool, use cmake. E.g:

$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake ../src
$ cmake --build .

A note on OpenMP

The default is for libsac to use OpenMP, which requires that you enable OpenMP when linking to the library (e.g. using -fopenmp for gcc/g++), otherwise you may get linking errors such as undefined reference to 'omp_get_num_threads'.
