hi all
I hope I don't cover too much ground that has already be covered many times in the past but I couldn't find and archives for this list.
First off I think libmad is awesome, a great bit of code. I have just finished integrating libmad into Kaffe, the open source java VM. Now any java app can call codec functions which will use the lowlevel libmad C libraries to do the hard work and pass back raw PCM. This was done as part of the pocketlinux.com project so we now have lightning fast mp3 decoding on iPaq and other handhelds.
I found the code so easy to use I was wondering why there aren't more players out there based on mad. Is there even an XMMS plugin? I will write one if there isn't. Seems like most of the players out there simply cut and paste code from mpg123 of simply fork it of as another process. I really like the idea of having a simple lib on the system for doing mp3 decoding and having all the players link against it.
Anyone, well done, thanks for some great code.
