NAME
    Audio::Ofa - Perl interface to libofa, an Acoustig Fingerprinting
    library

VERSION
    This is version 1.01

SYNOPSIS
    This module provides a direct interface to libofa. For not-so-lowlevel
    and more practical assistance with audio fingerprints see
    Audio::Ofa::Util.

        use Audio::Ofa qw(ofa_get_version ofa_create_print);

SUBROUTINES
  ofa_get_version
    Retrieves the version of the installed libofa. Returns a string like
    0.9.3.

  ofa_create_print(data, byteOrder, size, sRate, stereo)
    From the libofa source code comments:

        data: a buffer of 16-bit samples in interleaved format (if stereo), i.e. L,R,L,R, etc.
                     This buffer is destroyed during processing.
                     Ideally, this buffer should contain the entire song to be analyzed, but the process will only
                     need the first 2min + 10sec + any silence prepending the actual audio. Since the precise silence
                     interval will only be known after a couple of processing steps, the caller must make adequate
                     allowance for this. Caveat emptor.
        byteOrder: OFA_LITTLE_ENDIAN, or OFA_BIG_ENDIAN - indicates the byte
                   order of the data being passed in.
        size: the size of the buffer, in number of samples.
        sRate: the sample rate of the signal. This can be an arbitrary rate, as long as it can be expressed
                     as an integer (in samples per second). If this is different from 44100, rate conversion will
                     be performed during preprocessing, which will add significantly to the overhead.
        stereo: 1 if there are left and right channels stored, 0 if the data is mono
    
        On success, a valid text representation of the fingerprint is returned.

    One should note that "size" is the byte length of "data" divided by 2
    (as in 2 bytes as in 16 bit), regardless of "stereo".

    The XS code will throw an exception if "size" is too large, to prevent a
    buffer overread.
