[opus] Question on opus_decoder output sampling rate

[Dragos Oancea]

Hi Julien,

Quote from :
http://dspguru.com/dsp/faqs/multirate/resampling

"The problem is that for resampling factors close to 1.0, the interpolation factor can be quite large. For example, in the case described above of changing from the sampling rate from 48 kHz to 44.1 kHz, the ratio is only 0.91875, yet the interpolation factor is 147!"
My guess is that Opus would perform similar to Speex if you'd have to have it resample to 44.1 khz.
Cheers,Dragos

Hi, another question on the same topic

Speex resampler at 44.1kHz seems to be very CPU intensive on Android (even more than the Opus encoder)

While Speex at 48kHz is just fine.

I wonder any alternate solutions or ideas ?
Improve it, look for alternate solution ...

I am guessing the NEON optimization are still used for both, etc.

The encoder and decoder can handle, 8, 12, 16, 24 and 48 kHz
input/output. If doesn't matter what it gets encoded to/decoded from.
you can initialize a decoder at 8 kHz and it'll still decode 48 kHz
audio fine (you just won't get the high frequencies obviously). For
sampling rates other than 8/12/16/24/48, then you'll have to do
resampling. Have a look at the speexdsp resampler if you don't already
have one.
