Item description:

libcwav is a library for playing (b)cwav files on the 3DS.

The goal of this library is to provide an interface for playing (b)cwav files in 3DS homebrew sofware. The way it is designed allows to play these files in non-application environments, such as 3GX game plugins or applets, as it provides support for the CSND system service. Unlike (b)cstm files which are streamed in chunks from their storage media, (b)cwav files are fully loaded into the linear RAM. Therefore, (b)cwav files are only meant for small sound effects. This library provides support for the ADPCM encodings, which heavily reduce the required memory to play the file.
