NAME
     libswresample - audio resampling library

DESCRIPTION
     The libswresample library performs highly optimized audio resampling, rema-
     trixing and sample format conversion operations.

     Specifically, this library performs the following conversions:

     *	 Resampling: is the process of changing the audio rate, for example from
	 a high sample rate of 44100Hz to 8000Hz. Audio conversion from high to
	 low sample rate is a lossy process. Several resampling options and al-
	 gorithms are available.

     *	 Format conversion: is the process of converting the type of samples,
	 for example from 16-bit signed samples to unsigned 8-bit or float sam-
	 ples. It also handles packing conversion, when passing from packed lay-
	 out (all samples belonging to distinct channels interleaved in the same
	 buffer), to planar layout (all samples belonging to the same channel
	 stored in a dedicated buffer or "plane").

     *	 Rematrixing: is the process of changing the channel layout, for example
	 from stereo to mono. When the input channels cannot be mapped to the
	 output streams, the process is lossy, since it involves different gain
	 factors and mixing.

     Various other audio conversions (e.g. stretching and padding) are enabled
     through dedicated options.
