[Scilab-users] wav files

Dear all,

Wav files usually contain PCM data, but they can also work as containers 
of other formats, such as compressed audio, for instance A-Law, Mu-Law, 
ADPCM or even MP3 or FLAC. There are over 200 registered format tags, 
however Scilab only accepts 2, integer PCM and 32 bit float PCM.

It would be useful to have sample files to test, analyze and experiment 
with, particularly if someone would like to expand the support of 
Scilab's wadread. However, most audio software, including the open 
source Audacity, only creates PCM wav files. Other formats such as MP3 
are exported under their own non-RIFF extension.

I can export to ADPCM, A_Law and Mu-Law wav files using an old (non 
free) application calledCool Edit 2000

Is anybody aware of a free software capable of exporting more formats to 
the wav container?

Regards,

Federico Miyara
