[Speex-dev] Encoding/Decoding doubts

[Daniel Rosado]

Hi Jozsef,

Flash documentation says that when using speex codec, the sample rate by
default is 16KHz. Although, it can be changed to 8KHz for example.

I thought that the number of bits per sample was determined by the sample
rate and the quality value.

Yes, i'm using 1 frame per packet.

Are you sure that i don't need to be careful with the first byte? Should i
include it anyway? I was told that i need to set it, how does flash player
know that encoding of those packets if the stream is created by the server?

Assuming that i really need to use 16KHz, 16bit, mono frames, and that i'm
getting 8KHz, 8bits mulaw/alaw data and then decoding it to linear pcm
(8KHz, 16bits), do you know if it's possible to encode it in 16KHz, 16bit
speex?


thank you

in the format byte should be ignored if the format is speex. You can set the
