[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #49927] audioread slow when extracting only part of a file

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #16, bug #49927 (project octave):

Following up on comment #13, yes Kai, Octave is following Matlab's convention
for reading and writing audio files, which is that the entire audio sequence
is read/written at once. There is nothing preventing anyone from building a
different interface using the same sndfile library that would allow files to
be written in blocks without knowing the full audio length up front. But that
would be outside the scope of what we're doing at this point to be Matlab
compatible. Matlab has no functions or classes for dealing with audio files
that way.
