[vorbis-dev] WAVE loader for oggenc and oggdrop

[David Balazic]

<LET OBJECT=STEAM DIRECTION=OFF>

Here is an improved WAVE file loader for oggenc/oggdrop :

int load_wave(char * filename,void * buffer)
{
  fprintf(stderr,"unsupported WAVE file format !\n");
  return -1;
}

It has the same functionality as the current code, but is shorter,
has less ( zero ? ) bugs, is easier to maintain etc.

</LET>

I created a RIFF/WAVE ( commonly known as a WAV file ) ( PCM , 44100 kHz , stereo , 16 bit )
with the Sound Recorder application in windows 2000 pro.

Both oggenc and oggdrop ( beta4 ) report that it is an unsupported file format.

ox ( a recent version, that is shipped with redhat linux 7.1 ),
AFsp-v5r2.tar.gz, audiofile-0.2.2.tar.gz , libsndfile-0.0.23.tar.gz
all read the WAVE file without no problems.

They are all LGPL ( except AFsp , which has a license 5 lines long and is
IMHO legally meaningless, or it doesn't legally mean the same what the authors
thinks it means ) so more than adequate for ogg example utilities.

Remember : you can not invent a better wheel !
