-<title> xiph.org: Ogg Vorbis FAQ</title>
-
-<!--#include file="oggtop.include" -->
-
-<h1>Frequently Asked Questions</h1>
-
-<!--#include virtual="/xiphmid.include" -->
-
-<em>October 12, 2000</em><p>
-
-Also have a look at the <a href="http://www.vorbis.com/faq.psp">FAQ at the Vorbis.com demo site</a> if you don't see your question here.
-
-<h1>General Questions</h1>
-
-<h2>What is Vorbis?</h2>
-
-Ogg Vorbis is a fully Open, non-proprietary, patent-and-royalty-free
-general purpose compressed audio format for high quality
-(44.1-48.0kHz, 16+ bit, polyphonic) audio and music at fixed and
-variable bitrates from 16 to 128 kbps/channel. This places Vorbis in
-the same class as audio representations including MPEG-1 audio layer
-3, MPEG-4 audio (AAC and TwinVQ), and PAC.<p>
-
-<h2>Why Vorbis? MP3 is open.</h2>
-
-No, it isn't. Fraunhofer (and other MPEG consortium members) claim
-that it is impossible to create an mp3 encoder without infringing on
-their patents. To create/use an encoder, the law says one must pay
-royalties to Fraunhofer and other MPEG Consortium members. In other
-words, you can play what you like, but you're not allowed to
-contribute without paying the ante. MPEG-4, destined to be the next
-generation of internet audio, is even more tightly controlled.<p>
-
-More worrisome is the prospect of behind the scenes alliances
-between MPEG (which dominates the audio technology) with the
-RIAA/music industry which seeks to control all distribution.<p>
-
-Do you really want a corporate alliance controlling what music you can
-listen to and when? Remember that the RIAA is working hard to make
-players that play anything other than officially sanctioned streams
-<em>illegal</em>.
-
-<h2>Why Vorbis? We already have MP3 and don't want to change.</h2>
-
-I'll be blunt.<p>
-
-If you didn't pay for that copy of mp3enc, you're [technically] a
-thief. Strictly speaking, LAME users are supposed to pay royalties to
-FhG too. Of course, MPEG members tend not to go after individuals;
-that would be nearly impossible.<p>
-
-Going after <em>businesses</em> is an entirely different thing. If
-you're running a business, you either pay the arbitrary royalties (FhG
-decides this on a case-by-case basis, and generally protects
-'exclusives' it has arranged with other companies) or you don't stream.
-<em>There are no low cost, unrestricted, legal streaming solutions for
-small business.</em> The alternatives to MP3 aren't cheap either.<p>
-
-<h2>Can Vorbis stream?</h2>
-
-Yes. One can both encode and decode as a single pass, real-time
-stream. Vorbis is well suited to 'Internet Radio' and other forms of
-real-time and offline electronic distribution.<p>
-
-We have initial Icecast support for Vorbis working now; expect a
-release of Icecast will full, official Ogg Vorbis support soon.<p>
-
-<h2>How fast is Vorbis?</h2>
-
-Vorbis requires roughly the same encoding and decoding power as MP3.
-The current Vorbis source is immature (and therefore generally
-unoptimized) so it will also get faster as time goes on.<p>
-
-<h2>Does Vorbis support low bitrate encoding?</h2>
-
-Vorbis is also intended for extreme low bitrates, but that
-functionality does not yet exist in the current Subversion source. On paper,
-the math says Vorbis should scale to low bitrates much more
-gracefully, but we've not yet actually written the code. Low bitrate
-coding is a high priority, so we'll know the details of low bitrate
-performance soon.<p>
-
-<h2>What extension does a Vorbis file use?</h2>
-
-Ogg Vorbis uses the Ogg bistream format, and the correct extension is
-.ogg<p>
-
-<h2>How does Vorbis compare to MP3?</h2>
-
-Vorbis is currently too immature to evaluate authoritatively against
-MP3. Right now, it's about as good in the 128-160 kbps range; the
-encoder used to produce these streams is a test encoder
-(vorbis/examples/example_encoder.c) intended to produce bitstreams
-only for code stability testing purposes and illustrate the minimum
-amount of code needed to produce a valid bitstream. It produces
-perfectly valid bitstreams, but has virtually no features you'd expect
-to see in a production encoder.
-
-A production command line encoder is in progress. <p>
-
-<h2>What are Vorbis's distribution terms?</h2>
-
-Anyone may freely use and distribute the Ogg and Vorbis
-specifications, whether in a private, public or corporate capacity.
-The specification is fully open to the public to be used for any
-purpose. However, Xiphophorus and the Ogg project (xiph.org) reserve
-the right to set the Ogg/Vorbis specification and certify
-specification compliance.<p>
-
-Xiphophorus's Vorbis software libraries (libvorbis and vorbisfile) are
-distributed under a BSD-like license; these libraries may be used by
-any application, Open or proprietary, linked or incorporated in whole,
-so long as acknowldgement is made to Xiphophorus when using our codec
-source in whole or in derived works. See the file 'COPYING' in the
-source for all the details.<p>
-
-All other portions of xiph.org's reference Vorbis software are
-distributed under the (GNU) General Public License (GPL).<p>
-
-Because the specification is open, third parties are welcome (and
-encouraged) to implement third party Vorbis software under other
-licenses using xiph.org's reference source as an authoritative
-reference.<p>
-
-<h1>Specification questions</h1>
-<h2>Why a forward adaptive format?</h2>
-
-For maximum flexibility. Vorbis is meant to be actively researched
-and improved, so the engine, specification and algorithms are
-generalized to an unusual level. Although forward adaptive algorithms
-are probably slightly anachronistic today, their flexibility can't be
-beat.<p>
-
-<h2>Why MDCT and not wavelets?</h2>
-
-Wavelets are not a magic bullet; the MDCT is a near optimal transform
-for strongly tonal audio. The time/frequency resolution tradeoffs
-that wavelets offer aren't normally useful in audio... most of the
-time.<p>
-
-That said, percussive, plosive and impulsive audio events show poor
-frequency isolation, but strong time domain isolation; here wavelets
-are <em>very</em> useful... And in fact, wavelets are part of the
-vorbis specification. The use of wavelets in Vorbis is still
-experimental, however; they will not be part of the 1.0 release.
-
-<h2>Does Vorbis support error correction?</h2>
-
-The Ogg streaming infrastructure that is used by Vorbis checksums and
-protects the data in a Vorbis bitstream. However, Vorbis does not
-include additional redundancy for error correction. Corruptions will
-be detected (and the stream will recover immediately after the corrupt
-page), but that corrupt snippet can't be recovered.
-
-<h2>Does Vorbis support mid/side stereo modes? More than stereo?</h2>
-
-Vorbis has hooks for mid/side stereo and continuous balance stereo,
-but the channel mappings for both are yet to be formally specified and
-implemented. Currently, Vorbis channels are uncoupled.<p>
-
-Vorbis does currently support greater than two channels; the default
-multichannel mapping in the 1.0 release supports up to 255
-simultaneous channels.<p>

-<title> FLAC Joins Xiph! </title>
-
-<!--#include file="oggtop.include" -->
-<!--#include virtual="/xiphmid.include" -->
-<b>January 29th, 2003</b>
-<p>
-<i>The Beginning</i>
-<p>
-Many moons ago, the <a href="http://www.xiph.org/ogg/">Ogg</a> project started with a
-codec called 'Squish.' Squish was an attempt to build a royalty-free lossless
-audio codec. Someone had a trademark on the word 'Squish.' so the name was changed to
-'Ogg Squish.' This was an extremely minor setback, but there was another obstacle to
-the project on the horizon.
-<p>
-In September of 1998, Fraunhofer IIS sent out 'letters of infringement' to several MPEG
-audio layer 3 development projects, and focus quickly changed to develop an alternative
-to mp3. The <a href="http://www.vorbis.com">Ogg Vorbis</a> project was born.
-<p>
-<i>Back To The Future</i>
-<p>
-While we were busy working on our own stuff, several projects popped up to embrace
-different aspects of open and free multimedia. One of the most impressive was <a
-href="http://flac.sf.net">FLAC</a>, or Free Lossless Audio Codec. FLAC does what Squish
-was supposed to do. More importantly, with version 1.1.0 now <a
-href="http://flac.sourceforge.net/news.html">released</a> to the universe, it's a
-more-than-capable full-featured codec that's ready for prime-time.
-<p>
-Here at Xiph.Org, it's our job to support open and free multimedia, even if it wasn't
-created here. A couple months ago, I approached the head of the FLAC project, Josh
-Coalson, with a proposition: Why not join forces for global domination? FLAC will get
-access to Xiph's resources and a laissez-faire approach to their codebase, and we get
-to put a working project in place to fill the gap left by a focus change that happened
-five years ago.
-<p>
-Josh sent out a missive to the FLAC development team. Open Source and Free Software
-projects are more often collaborative efforts than strictly the brainchild of one
-person. It was important to us that the FLAC team be cool with the idea. Happily,
-response was positive.
-<p>
-<i>Today, Tomorrow and Beyond</i>
-<p>
-Today, The FLAC project joins the Xiph.Org Foundation. FLAC's mailing lists and
-website will be moved over to Xiph's servers in the next few days, and our
-collaboration will be celebrated throughout the land.
-<p>
-What's next? After the housewarming party, FLAC will continue to progress, and all the
-current Xiph projects (like <a
-href="http://www.vorbis.com">Ogg Vorbis</a>, <a href="http://www.speex.org">Speex</a>,
-<a
-href="http://www.theora.org">Theora</a> and <a
-href="http://www.icecast.org">Icecast</a>) will keep going, as well. 2003 has already
-been an exciting year for Xiph, and we're only twenty-nine days into it.
-<p>
-<i>How Can You Help?</i>
-<p>
-If you're a software developer, please consider donating some time and effort to our
-projects by <a href="http://www.xiph.org/svn.html">grabbing some source code</a> and
-hacking away from the comfort of your chosen location.
-<p>
-If you've got fairly deep pockets and you want to help make sure that we can continue
-to kick ass and take names, please consider making a <a
-href="http://www.xiph.org/ogg/vorbis/donate.html">donation</a> to our fine
-organization.
-<p>
-If you can't afford to donate time or money, that's okay, too. Just let your friends
-know that we're here, so that they're aware that patent and royalty-free alternatives
-to proprietary multimedia formats exist. We don't have the resources available to
-evangelize and promote our work, so we need to rely on good word-of-mouth from
-kind folks like you.
-<p>
-Thanks for your time, and if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to drop me
-an E-mail to the address below, or give me a call at 215-820-9583.

-<!--#include file="oggtop.include" -->

-<b>October 11th, 2002</b>
-<p>
-Hey, folks, good to see you again. It's time for a little update, so I'll
-just get into the meat-and-potatoes of the news. If you're vegan,
-just consider it the tofu-and-sprouts; We're all friends here.
-<p>
-Our flagship project Ogg Vorbis has moved to 1.0.1 in our CVS. This
-isn't a big release (you can tell, because there aren't any builds yet),
-it's just minor bugfixes to solve a few outstandingissues. Vorbis
-continues to Boldly Go, and we're happy to keep serving it up, live and
-direct from Xiph HQ. But that's not the Big News this time.
-<p>
-The Big News is that the <a href="http://www.speex.org">Speex</a> project
-is now part of the Xiph.Org Foundation. For those not in the know, Speex
-is a wonderful open-source (and free) codec designed for the encoding of
-speech at low bitrates. Jean-Marc Valin, the author of Speex, is now a
-full-fledged member of the Xiph.Org team, and we're happy to have him and
-the wonderful technology he brings to the party. Not only that, but today
-is the release date of Speex Beta One! You can go download it by following
-<a href="http://www.speex.org">this link</a>. Enjoy!
-<p>
-Speaking of really cool people throwing their lot in with Xiph.Org,
-Michael Smith has taken over the reins of the <a
-href="http://www.icecast.org">Icecast</a> project from its former
-maintainer, the still-with-us, just-doing-different-things Jack Moffitt.
-Icecast2 is currently in development, and Mike has just released the first
-alpha!
-<p>
-<a href="http://www.theora.org">Theora</a> Alpha One came out last month,
-and work continues at a fairly good
-clip. Alpha Two is due out on December 1st, so keep your eyes open!
-<p>
-Well, it wouldn't be a proper update unless I made a heartfelt plea for
-<a href="http://www.xiph.org/ogg/vorbis/donate.html">donations</a>. We
-need them, and anything you could spare would be great. We've done a
-great job of staying one step ahead of the rest of the pack, but we can't
-stay there without your help.
