.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
abx is a program for performing software-based audio \s-1ABX\s0 testing on GNU/Linux
systems. \s-1ABX\s0 test (Wikipedia, Hydrogenaudio) is a statistical test for assessing
whether you are able to tell for audible differences between two samples. For
example, one sample can be a compressed audio file such as \s-1OGG\s0 Vorbis file and
another one its uncompressed variant (\s-1WAV, AU, ...\s0). You can then use abx to
infer whether you are able to separate the two samples due to compression
artifacts.
