4 Simply compile by running 'make'
9 Then run the program, it will give you usage instructions.
11 It's really quite trivial to use.
13 For example, to decode input.m4a to output.wav:
14 ./alac -f output.wav input.m4a
16 Or, as another example, say if you wanted to stream play
17 http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/samples/A-codecs/lossless/luckynight.m4a
18 and you're system uses the ALSA sound system:
19 wget -O - http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/samples/A-codecs/lossless/luckynight.m4a | ./alac - | aplay
21 By default the output file is in WAV format. To output as raw PCM, provide the
22 -r option on the command line.
