dfpwm

DFPWM encoder/decoder for JavaScript. Useful for ComputerCraft.

Usage

This module converts between signed 8-bit PCM data and DFPWM data. A description of the DFPWM codec is available here.

const dfpwm = require("dfpwm"); // require the module

// encode from signed 8-bit PCM buffer to DFPWM
let encoder = new dfpwm.Encoder(); // create an encoder
let encodedData = encoder.encode(pcmData); // encode data to DFPWM

// decode from DFPWM buffer to signed 8-bit PCM
let decoder = new dfpwm.Decoder(); // create a decoder
let decodedData = decoder.decode(encodedData); // decode data to PCM

// or do single chunks quicker: (not recommended for streaming data)
let encodedData = dfpwm.quickEncode(pcmData);
let decodedData = dfpwm.quickDecode(encodedData);

// use streams to streamline data access
fs.createReadStream("in.pcm")
    .pipe(new dfpwm.Encoder())
    .pipe(fs.createWriteStream("out.dfpwm"))

Encoders and decoders may be re-used for streaming audio. This helps keep audio quality better across multiple chunks.
