refcodes-audio: Handle WAV files and line-out with just some I/O streams

README

The REFCODES.ORG codes represent a group of artifacts consolidating parts of my work in the past years. Several topics are covered which I consider useful for you, programmers, developers and software engineers.

What is this repository for?

This artifact provides audio processing functionality such as generating sine waves or writing generated samples to WAV files or your PC speakers via I/O streams (as of the LineOutSoundSampleWriter or the WavSoundSampleWriter types).

How do I get set up?

To get up and running, include the following dependency (without the three dots “…”) in your pom.xml:

	<dependency>
		<artifactId>refcodes-audio</artifactId>
		<groupId>org.refcodes</groupId>
		<version>3.3.5</version>
	</dependency>
	...
</dependencies>

The artifact is hosted directly at Maven Central. Jump straight to the source codes at Bitbucket. Read the artifact’s javadoc at javadoc.io.
