[vorbis-dev] Vorbis packet #3, codebooks and their large size

[Mercier, Dave]

Perhaps instead of having Vorbis work with codebooks inside the stream or a
standard set of codebooks in the decoder, Vorbis could simply support both?
When V1.0 is all nice and polished, and some good codebooks have been tuned,
perhaps they could be included as part of the decoder - maybe it doesn't
even have to include the full range either - the lower bit rate ones are
probably more important in this case. 

I think this would really help out for applications dealing with smaller
samples. Of course it may complicate things, so I guess it's purely a design
decision.

Thanks,
Dave.

However, it is possible (and I think Monty has mentioned this in the past,
but it'd be a post-1.0 thing, I suppose) to create a seperate vorbis
mapping which uses a fixed set of codebooks (similar to how mp3, etc.
work). This would lose you flexibility (rather alot of flexibility), but
would be more appropriate to your uses. This is possibly the avenue you
want to pursue.
