version 0.0.1                                       May 2010                                        zresample(1)

zresample  copies  an audio file, changing the sample rate and/or the sample format. For 16-bit output it
       can also dither the audio signal. Input can be any audio file readable by  the  libsndfile  library.  The
       output file type is either WAV, WAVEX, CAF, AIFF or FLAC.

       Zero in case there are no errors, non-zero otherwise.

--help Display a short help text.

       --ratesample-rate
              Set  the  output  sample rate.  Zresample uses the zita-resampler library which means that not all
              combinations of input/output sample rate will be accepted.  The resample ratio must be a reducable
              to a fraction a/b with both a and b less than or equal to 1000.

       --gaingain
              Gain in dB, default zero.

   Outputfiletype--wav  Produce a WAV file, or for more than 2 channels, a WAVEX file.  This is the default.

       --amb  Produce a WAVEX file with the Ambisonic GUID. Such files should have the .amb filename extension.

       --caf  Produce a Core Audio file.

       --aiff Produce an AIFF file.

       --flac Produce a FLAC file.

   Outputsampleformat--16bit
              Output sample format is signed 16-bit. This option also enables the use  of  dithering,  described
              below.

       --24bit
              Output sample format is 24-bit. This is the default.

       --float
              Output sample format is 32-bit floating point.

   Dithering--rec  Add  white  dithering noise with a rectangular distribution. This is the best option if the output
              data is going to processed again, but in that case it would be advisable to use 24-bit or float.

       --tri  Add filtered noise with a triangular distribution. Compared to the rectangular dither this reduces
              the noise density in the lower frequency range.

       --lips This uses the optimal error feedback filter described by Stanley Lipschitz. This is recommended is
              the output is the final distribution format, e.g. for a CD.

   Timing--pad  Insert zero valued input samples at the start and  end  so  that  the  output  includes  the  full
              symmetric filter response even for the first and last samples.
