Convert 8 bit mono PCM data to json

Raw

To display in vega lite for example.

Like in the Amiga Soundtracker samples:

Note: god is for macOs (brew install coreutils). Use plain od command for regular linux systems.

For example, on the Alien pcm file from the original Soundtracker sample pack:

$ god -vAn -td1 -w1 Alien | \
      awk 'BEGIN {print "{\"values\": ["} NR > 1 {printf ", "} {print "{\"x\":"NR-1", \"y\": "$1"}"} END {print "]}"}'
