brew install opusfile
v0.12_1
BSD-3-Clause
C library for decoding and seeking in Opus audio files.
Why you might care
If you're building audio software that needs to play or stream .opus files, opusfile handles the decoding and container parsing for you. It's the reference implementation maintained by the Opus codec team, so it's reliable and standards-compliant. Most audio players and frameworks that support Opus depend on this or use it as a reference.
