Chapter 44. Multimedia Libraries and Drivers

libcdio-2.1.0

Introduction to libcdio

The libcdio is a library for CD-ROM and CD image access. The associated libcdio-cdparanoia library reads audio from the CD-ROM directly as data, with no analog step between, and writes the data to a file or pipe as .wav, .aifc or as raw 16 bit linear PCM.

This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS 12.0 platform.
