# catAIFC.pl concatenates AIFC and RIFF WAVE files in a single output stream.
# All files MUST have identical audio formats and structures (channels, sample rates etc.). 
# ALL sound chunks are combined. Compressed files might not be concattenated
# correctly. Mixing AIFC and WAVE files will result in useless files.
# Note that ALL non-essential chunks are dropped.
# catAIFC.pl is fairly inefficient. It will pass over all files twice. Once to
# determine their length, once to actually output data.

=head1 NAME

catAIFC.pl - concatenates AIFC and RIFF (wav) files 

=head1 DESCRIPTION

catAIFC.pl concatenates AIFC and RIFF WAVE files in a single output stream.
 
=head1 README

catAIFC.pl concatenates AIFC and RIFF WAVE files in a single output stream.
All files MUST have identical audio formats and structures (channels, sample 
rates etc.). ALL sound chunks are combined. Compressed files might not be 
concattenated correctly. Mixing AIFC and WAVE files will result in useless 
files. Note that ALL non-essential chunks are dropped.
catAIFC.pl is fairly inefficient. It will pass over all files twice. Once to
determine their length, once to actually output data.
