.SH "NAME"
libvorbis \- Xiph\&.org compression format library
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBlibvorbis\fR is an implementation of the Vorbis specification
by the Xiph\&.org foundation\&. \fBlibvorbis\fR provides an API to work
with the Vorbis multimedia compression format\&.
.PP
Vorbis is an audio compression scheme that is designed to be contained
in the Ogg container\&. Note that other formats are capable of being embedded
in an Ogg container, such as FLAC and Speex\&.
.PP
\fBlibvorbis\fR contains the Vorbis reference encoder and decoder.
This is the lowest-level interface to the Vorbis encoder and
decoder. If you're just looking for a simple way to extract the audio
from an Ogg Vorbis file, you probably want to use vorbisfile rather
than using libogg and libvorbis directly.
.PP
The \fBVorbisfile\fR library provides a convenient high-level API for decoding
and basic manipulation of all Vorbis I audio streams. \fBlibvorbisfile\fR is
implemented as a layer on top of Xiph.Org's reference \fBlibogg\fR and
\fBlibvorbis\fR libraries.
.PP
\fBLibvorbisenc\fR is a convenient API for setting up an encoding environment
using \fBlibvorbis\fR. \fBLibvorbisenc\fR encapsulates the actions needed to
set up the encoder properly.
