Hello!<br><br>I've read this list pretty thoroughly before asking. Thanks in advance for the help.<br><br>I'm
interested in low-latency streaming of small packets of audio captured from a sound card.<br>I want
to focus on the compression computational time (not the transport). I have several questions regarding Vorbis :<br><br>(1) Vorbis supports block sizes down to 64 samples according
to the spec. Can I encode, frame, and transport blocks of this size?
Will the performance of a standard vorbis encoder using short sample blocks differ significantly from
performance with the longer block lengths usually used?<br><br>(2) Are such short block lengths compatible with Managed Bitrate modes?<br><br>(3) What computation time can I expect in encoding a 64-sample block? 128-sample? (Ordinary, modern P4 platform.)
<br><br>(4) What are the main sources of computational time in encoding a short block?<br><br>(5) How much of the overall compression is due to perceptual encoding? How much due to entropy encoding (huffman)?<br><br>Thanks in advance.
