Thanks, but how do I use it?

Don't know. With Foobar2000 maybe? He asked for a DLL and there it is. I think the README above my last post describes how to use it.

I think basically you have
e.g.

Menu.ogg
create a new file (blank)called Menu.ogg.loop and add the loop points into the new file
LoopStart/LoopLength into that new file. Like
---------------------
LoopStart=012345
Looplength=1234567890
---------------------
Same for .wav .flac etc..

I guess you play the loop file like you would with a .pos file.

That is what I think it does..
any updates on looping lossless format? by VGSB at 6:43 PM EST on February 12, 2018
Is there any foobar2000 component that can play a FLAC file with loop points in its metadata as described earlier in this thread, or any other for losslessly compressed format? If not, could vgmstream be updated to support something like .lwav that could actually be losslessy compressed (such as perhaps a new extension labeled .lflac that has the previously mentioned loop metadata)?

I think with vgmstream’s implementation of ffmpeg, it might be possible? The only question is where would be loop data be stored? In WAV, it’s located internally in the smpl chunk. Maybe, like you mentioned, in the metadata/tags like Ogg does. On the other hand, I’m staying away from using Flac on some gamerips because it doesn’t always recreate the original header. The raw data is fine but sometimes the size defined in the RIFF header is occasionally truncated, especially if there’s extra zero data at the end, even if it’s part of the raw stream, flac gets rid of it.

Looping FLACs do work:
- rename to something foobar/etc accepts, ex. file.vgmstream
- create a pos file: file.vgmstream.pos (notice the double extension), LE 32b loop_start, 32b loop_end (optional: 32b num_samples, needed if FFmpeg can't determine num_samples)

Same can be done with any FFmpeg format, ex. mp3/ape/tak/mp4 all (probably) work.

Oh yea, forgot about that. So what he said then —-^
using Python to convert integer samples from vgmstream to little endian 32 bit samples for pos files by VGSB at 1:12 PM EDT on June 20, 2018
I've created a Python script that can get the loop point sample counts of a streamed audio file using vgmstream. I would like for it to export .pos files to go along with the .flac.vgmstream files. But I'm not really familiar with how to convert integer samples to little endian 32 bit samples. Does anybody know of how to do this with Python or by calling an external exe?
by SmartOne at 6:42 PM EDT on June 22, 2018
Don't you just need the sample count? The sample format shouldn't matter?

Oh, you need to convert the sample count format for the POS file format. Never mind.

The output of vgmstream isn't little endian?

Based on other POS files I've seen and testing, it seems that you can't just use a POS file with normal text file formatting where you can specify the number of samples as integers. It seems to require binary 32 bit samples, which I don't have enough experience with.
