# wavpackenc

WavpackEnc encodes raw audio into a framed Wavpack stream. Wavpack is an open-source audio codec that features both lossless and lossy encoding.

## Example launch line

     gst-launch-1.0 audiotestsrc num-buffers=500 ! audioconvert ! wavpackenc ! filesink location=sinewave.wv

This pipeline encodes audio from audiotestsrc into a Wavpack file. The audioconvert element is needed as the Wavpack encoder only accepts input with 32 bit width.

     gst-launch-1.0 cdda://1 ! audioconvert ! wavpackenc ! filesink location=track1.wv

This pipeline encodes audio from an audio CD into a Wavpack file using lossless encoding (the file output will be fairly large).

     gst-launch-1.0 cdda://1 ! audioconvert ! wavpackenc bitrate=128000 ! filesink location=track1.wv

This pipeline encodes audio from an audio CD into a Wavpack file using lossy encoding at a certain bitrate (the file will be fairly small).

## Properties

### bitrate

    “bitrate” guint

Try to encode with this average bitrate (bits/sec). This enables lossy encoding, values smaller than 24000 disable it again.

Flags : Read / Write

Default value : 0

### bits-per-sample

    “bits-per-sample” gdouble

Try to encode with this amount of bits per sample. This enables lossy encoding, values smaller than 2.0 disable it again.

Flags : Read / Write

Default value : 0

### correction-mode

    “correction-mode” Wavpack-enc-correction-mode *

Use this mode for the correction stream. Only works in lossy mode!

Flags : Read / Write

Default value : off (0)

### extra-processing

    “extra-processing” guint

Use better but slower filters for better compression/quality.

Flags : Read / Write

Default value : 0

### joint-stereo-mode

    “joint-stereo-mode” Wavpack-enc-jsmode *

Use this joint-stereo mode.

Flags : Read / Write

Default value : auto (0)

### md5

    “md5” gboolean

Store MD5 hash of raw samples within the file.

Flags : Read / Write

Default value : false

### mode

    “mode” Wavpack-enc-mode *

Speed versus compression tradeoff.

Flags : Read / Write

Default value : normal (2)
