Settings

Set the number of audio channels. This setting is most useful when downmixing channels (e.g., from 5.1 to stereo).
Set the sample rate of the audio. Music with a full spectrum (20 Hz — 20 kHz) requires values not lower than 44.1 kHz to achieve transparency. More info can be found on the wiki.
Adjust the audio volume by selecting a number of decibels. For example, -10 dB decreases the volume by 10 decibels.

dvms

DVMS (Dutch Voice Messaging System) is a telephony-grade audio encoding born from the Netherlands' early push toward digital voicemail infrastructure. Deployed through KPN (formerly PTT Telecom) in the mid-1980s, the format stores mono voice data at a narrow 8 kHz sample rate, prioritizing compact message size over sonic breadth. Audio is compressed with a proprietary variant of logarithmic companding similar to European A-law encoding, squeezing recordings to roughly 8 kbit/s while keeping speech intelligible. Each file carries a small header identifying sample rate, compression type, and message metadata, which made automated routing across early PBX and voicemail systems straightforward. Although DVMS never gained traction outside Dutch telecom circles, it influenced how European carriers designed later voice messaging protocols. Tools like SoX and several legacy telephony libraries still read and write DVMS files, allowing archival playback of decades-old messages. Among its practical advantages: extremely small file sizes (a one-minute message occupies roughly 60 KB), reliable speech clarity despite aggressive compression, and a simple container layout that is easy to parse programmatically.

tta

TTA (True Audio) is a real-time lossless audio compression codec developed by Aleksander Djourik, with its origins tracing back to the early 2000s. The format reconstructs the original PCM stream bit-for-bit upon decoding, guaranteeing that no sonic detail is lost during storage or transfer. TTA handles standard CD-quality audio as well as high-resolution content up to 32-bit integer samples, making it suitable for everyday listening and professional archiving alike. Processing speed is one of TTA's defining strengths — the codec achieves fast encoding and decoding without heavy CPU demands, keeping it lightweight even on older hardware. The file structure supports ID3v1, ID3v2, and APEv2 metadata tags, so track information and album art travel with the audio. Hardware support appeared in several portable players, giving TTA a practical edge over some competing lossless formats. The open-source reference implementation ships under the GNU GPL, encouraging community adoption and third-party integrations. While newer codecs like FLAC have captured a larger share of the lossless audio landscape, TTA continues to serve users who value its simplicity and transparent compression.
