Libavcodec with audio

Question

I'm learning to program with libavcodec. But I'm stuck. All the tutorials I'm using are on video files and I need an audio file. I'm using Ubuntu.

How should I read AVCodecContext from an audio stream?
By the way, does anybody know a good tutorial on libavcodec with audio? I couldn't find anything.

Answer 1

From the ffmpeg doc:

http://cekirdek.pardus.org.tr/~ismail/ffmpeg-docs/api-example_8c-source.html

Is has examples for audio encoding/decoding, and video encoding/decoding.

Answer 2

This tutorial shows a function that can turn any sound file into an array of double samples, with the sampling rate of your choice, using FFMPEG libraries.
