Examples:

The audio_decoding example shows how to read frames from an audio file and convert them into bytes.

The audio_device example shows how to read 500 audio frames from an input audio device or an URL and write them into an output audio device or a file.

The decode_audio example shows how to parse packets from a mapped file, decode them and write the resulting frames into a file.

The demuxing_decoding example shows how to demuxing and decoding audio, video and subtitle frames from a file, converts them into bytes and write them in raw files.

The encode_audio example shows how to convert a float array into stereo frames and encode them into packets.

The encode_video example shows how to create video frames and write them encoded into a file.

The encoding example shows how to create a multimedia file with audio and video streams.

The player example shows how to read a multimedia file and write audio and video frames to output devices.

The remuxing example shows how to remuxing multimedia file packets without decoding them.

The transcode_aac example shows how to transcode an audio file into an AAC audio file.

The transcoding example shows how to transcode audio streams into the AAC codec, video streams into the H264 codec and write them to an output file.
