SPEEXDEC(1)

✨ SPEEXDEC(1) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the User Commands section, this is the manual page for speexdec 💅

speexdec — the reference implementation speex decoder. that's it, that's the whole job description 🫶

speexdec [options] input_file.spx [output_file]

so what this icon does is: it decodes a Speex file and produces a WAV file or a raw file. periodt ✨

filename.spx — a regular Speex file, the classic, the standard, the main character 👑
- — stdin, feeding it straight from the pipe, we love a streamer 🫶

filename.wav — a Wav file 🎧
filename.* — a Raw PCM file, and yes literally any extension other than .wav counts, that's the whole vibe check 🌈
- — stdout, sending it out into the void, slay 💅
(nothing) — if you give it no output file at all, it will be played to soundcard. no file, just vibes 🎵

--enh — enable perceptual enhancement. this is the default, bestie, it's already on 💖
--no-enh — disable perceptual enhancement 🙈
--force-nb — force decoding in narrowband
--force-wb — force decoding in wideband
--force-uwb — force decoding in ultra-wideband
--mono — force decoding in mono 🎀
--stereo — force decoding in stereo 🎧
--rate n — force decoding at sampling rate n Hz, like --rate n, you pick the number ⭐
--packet-loss n — simulate n % random packet loss. yes it's fake loss, it's a bit of a chaos demon 😭
-V — verbose mode, it shows the bit-rate 🔥
-h, --help — this help, hi hello welcome 🫶
-v, --version — version information 👑
--pf — deprecated, use --enh instead ⚠️
--no-pf — deprecated, use --no-enh instead ⚠️
