How To Install libsamplerate0 on Kali Linux

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install libsamplerate0 on Kali Linux.

What is libsamplerate0

libsamplerate0 is:

libsamplerate (aka Secret Rabbit Code) is a library for audio rate conversion.

libsamplerate currently provides three different sample rate conversion algorithms; zero order hold, linear interpolation and FIR filter interpolation (using filters derived from the mathematical SINC function). The first two algorithms (zero order hold and linear) are included for completeness and are not recommended for any application where high quality sample rate conversion is required. For the FIR/Sinc algorithm, three converters are provided; SRC_SINC_FASTEST, SRC_SINC_MEDIUM_QUALITY and SRC_SINC_BEST_QUALITY to allow a trade off between conversion speed and conversion quality.

libsamplerate is capable of downsampling to 1/256 of the original sample rate and upsampling to 256 times the original sample rate. It is also capable of time varying conversions for vary speed effects and synchronising of two unlocked sample rates.

There are three methods to install libsamplerate0 on Kali Linux. We can use apt-get, apt and aptitude. In the following sections we will describe each method. You can choose one of them.

Install libsamplerate0 Using apt-get

Update apt database with apt-get using the following command.
