About:
oggz is a command-line utility for analyzing and manipulating Ogg container formats and their contained codecs. It provides essential functions for inspecting file metadata, validating streams, and performing lossless edits without full transcoding. This tool is critical for developers and audio engineers working with Xiph.org codecs like Vorbis, Opus, and FLAC.

Key Features:

Inspect and display detailed information about Ogg streams
Validate Ogg files for structural integrity and compliance
Perform lossless editing and trimming of Ogg containers
Dump and analyze raw packet data for debugging

Use Cases:

Verifying the integrity of Ogg audio files before distribution
Editing metadata or trimming audio without re-encoding
Debugging Ogg stream structures for codec development

Alternatives:

ffmpeg – A comprehensive multimedia framework that can handle Ogg files but is much larger and less specialized for Ogg-specific tasks.
sox – Primarily an audio processing tool that can handle Ogg via plugins but lacks the deep container-level manipulation features of oggz.
