NAME
sfront - MPEG 4 Structured Audio decoder.
SYNOPSIS
sfront [options]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the sfront command. This manual
page was written for the Debian distribution because the original
program does not have a general manual page. Instead, it has
documentation in the HTML format; see below.
sfront is a program that compiles MPEG 4 Structured Audio (MP4-SA)
bitstreams into efficient C programs that generate audio when executed.
It supports real-time, low-latency audio input/output and MIDI input
from soundcards.
You must compile the C file generated after sfront execution with a C
compiler, and execute the resulting program to get the audio output.

A summary of the most important options is included below. For a
