3 years ago This is something that's been requested before, and I'm open to the idea, but it's fairly low on my (long!) priority list. I was thinking it might be best to just add it straight to dr_wav from the dr_libs repository and just have it work seamlessly. dr_wav already supports variants of WAV for proper 64-bit support (RF64 and Wave-64), so I figure adding AIFF as just another variant might work? I'm not sure if this is necessarily the best option, and I haven't made a final decision, but it'd at least avoid the need to maintain yet another library.
If you need it in miniaudio right now, you can actually implement a custom decoder to support this. See the custom_decoder example if that's something you might find useful. I can give you some guidance on this if that's something you're interested in.
miniaudiois such a well-designed & implemented audio lib -- it has almost everything I can imagine using for my project(s).One additional thing that would make it perfect for my use-case (a new piece of DJ software) would be AIFF file support.
I'm not sure if
dr_libswould be a better repo to contain this issue, or if an external library approach for AIFF decoding would be the better way to go (similar to*.oggsupport via stb_vorbis). As well, I'm not up-to-date on any licensing issues that might prevent adding support for AIFF/AIFC files.I might be able to make an attempt at adding support for this (with some guidance 🤞 on how/where to start, and quite a bit of time learning, to reach the quality level of these repos).
