STREAMDECKAUDIO is a file for sound effects or music. It is used by Stream Deck, a control panel for streamers. Users download files from the Store. They associate a file with a button to play it while streaming. The extension indicates which app opens the file. Different programs use this type for different data. We know programs that open these files from user suggestions.
I wonder why Elgato implemented encoding this way. The files are .wavs with rearranged bytes. Previews are .mp3s downloaded from catalog.json. I hoped for a cleaner way to convert them.
STREAMDECKAUDIO opens in Stream Deck. It is for Stream Deck Audio. The mime type is application/streamdeckaudio. File extensions indicate the program to open them. Different programs use types differently. We receive suggestions on programs users open file types with.
Audio formats store audio data. They are divided in three groups – uncompressed, lossless compressed, and lossy compressed. The most used uncompressed format is PCM, usually .wav or .aiff.
Installs itself with Start menu shortcuts and registers extensions. Stores data in user profile.
Programs use the same extension for different formats. Double-clicking often errors. Analyzing the file format and program is vital.
It finds the input format with FFprobe. It uses that as the extension. This does not always work – pcm_s16le is not a valid extension. You may want a different extension than the format name – AAC can be in MP4.
