Hi there ! I'm kinda "yet another guy who tries to implement a vorbis decoder from scratch only by using the vorbis spec". (pure Java, OO-style) (I downloaded the long-awaited-all-in-one-PDF) The data structures are quite ready, I can successfully load the codec setup packet and all its components it's containing. <p><p>So far so good.... Here's my first note concerning the floor0-setup : I'm supposed to read the parameters (floor0_order ... floor0_number_of_codebooks) as unsigned integers and therefore they can't be negative (see Step 7) Do I have to treat them as signed values ? What about the num_codebooks = readBits(4) + 1 which will range from 1 to 16 ? Is it reasonable to include num_codebooks in the consistency check ? Currently I'm doin' it like this: if ((order>=0x80)||(rate>=0x8000) ... (amplitude_offset>=0x80)) { stream undecodable } BTW: is floor0_order == 0 allowed ? any comments ? <p><p>another question concerning the identification header: (not a bug, just a question) ;) blocksize1 = 1 << readbits(4); blocksize2 = 1 << readBits(4); So far so good on this one... but i thought, Vorbis is currently dealing with blocks of 1024/128 spectral coefficients per transform block (at 44kHz), so i excpected the exponent-values to be equal to 7 and 10. But i actually found 8 and 11. So the blocksize corresponds to the size of a nominal mdct-window, right ? <p><p>another question concerning the floor0-synthesis-stuff: there's a nice image with bark(x) = atan()... and stuff Question: What is [n] in the map(i)-iteration ? I find it a bit confusing because 'n' is used to describe the length of the spectral-vector to be feed into the MDCT in the paragraph above. But the value of bark_map_size seem to make more sense in this context. (?) Also, i miss the usage of [i] within the formulas for p and q. I assume cos(w) = cos(i*PI/n). Is this correct ? <p><p>thanks for help, Sebastian --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'vorbis-dev-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.
