[speex-dev] C++ wrapper for speex

[Tom Grandgent]

Ronald,

I recently wrote some wrapper classes for the Speex encoder and decoder 
for use with my VoIP program.  I think they're pretty high level and 
easy to use.  They handle all buffer allocation internally to make life 
easy.  Here's a simple little example that happens to use VAD:

// buf is float[] or short int[], buflen is multiple of frame size
// (there is a getFrameSize() method for both classes)

// Encode some audio
tgAudioEncoder enc(16000);  // you could do 8000 instead
enc.enableVAD(1);
enc.encode(buf, buflen);
unsigned char *compressed = enc.getOutput();
int clen = enc.getOutputLen();
int speechDetected = enc.getSpeechDetected();

// Decode it
tgAudioDecoder dec(16000);
int decodedSamples = dec.decode(compressed, clen);
memcpy(buf, dec.getOutput(), decodedSamples * sizeof(short int));

Anyway, that's the basic idea.  I don't think it could get much 
easier. :)  Now, this is only raw encoding and decoding of the audio 
and doesn't have any kind of container support (like OGG), so you 
can't use it with speexenc/speexdec for example.  Also, there is 
error checking which I have omitted from the example above.

You may use the code however you want.  I only ask that you notify 
me of any problems you find with it.  You can download it at:

(This name only reflects the purpose of the classes in my project.)

Oh and by the way, should you wish to compile this, you will need 
a 1.1.x version of Speex since it relies on the Speex preprocessor.  
And you will also have to remove the getAGCLevel() method or 
implement SPEEX_PREPROCESS_GET_AGC_GAIN, something I added to 
Speex for my own use.

Good luck,

Tom
