OpenQuickTime Sound Options Dialog Box (GNU/Linux)
The OpenQuickTime Sound Options dialog box (titled MediaSettings) allows you to configure the audio compression settings when exporting a QuickTime movie on Linux.
On GNU/Linux, Harmony uses the OpenQuickTime framework to export QuickTime movies. This framework uses its own user interfaces to allow you to configure the video and audio compression settings for a movie. Because OpenQuickTime only comes bundled with non-prorprietary codecs, its compression options are limited.

Parameter | Description |
codec | Lets you select a codec. By default, the following codecs will be available:
NOTE It is recommended to leave this option to its default value, Twos Complement - Little Endian PCM, as it is commonly used for storing uncompressed audio. Other encoding formats are likely to sacrifice audio quality for negligible savings in disk space. |
Sample rate | The sample rate at which to export your scene's audio. The only available option is 22050 Hz, as it is the sample rate used internally by Harmony. |
