<a name="gst-plugins-base-plugins-audioconvert.description"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<p>Audioconvert converts raw audio buffers between various possible formats.
It supports integer to float conversion, width/depth conversion,
signedness and endianness conversion and channel transformations
(ie. upmixing and downmixing), as well as dithering and noise-shaping.</p>

This pipeline converts audio to 8-bit. The level element shows that
the output levels still match the one for a sine wave.

The vorbis encoder takes float audio data instead of the integer data
output by most other audio elements. This pipeline decodes a FLAC audio file
(or any other audio file for which decoders are installed) and re-encodes
it into an Ogg/Vorbis audio file.
