Speex dev - Aug 2005 - Fw: Winamp

Hi Shane and all on the list,

Thanks - I already have the Ogg Vorbis encoder (oggenc.exe).
I am looking to send voice messages to a friend in India and they have terrible
connections.  I just need to communicate with him quickly and easily from time
to time which is why I'm hoping to compress voice with Speex.  There's
an encoder called Speexenc.exe which I already have, now I only need Winamp to
read speex files since we are both using Winamp, so a Winamp plugin to read
Speex files will be great.
I could then copy the .spx files to FTP server and get him to download, and he
could do same to communicate with me.  Their connections in India are so bad
that even live voice chat is useless... and he hates typing. :-(
Thanks for any info.  I know there must be a Winamp plugin somewhere.  Even if
someone could E-mail it as an attachment to me that would b great.

Thanks Folks.

Yogs

  Yogan,

  SPEEX is only for playback of the spoken word. If you desire music
recording/playback, check out VORBIS. Vorbis is a variable bit-rate
encoding/decoding system optimized to reproduce music, while compressing the
recording considerably from it's original size.

  Check out http://vorbis.com/ 

  Have a great day!

  Shane

  Hi Folks,

  I'm looking for a Winamp plugin to play Speex files.  On the Speex Plugins
and software page the "Winamp and Cool Edit Plugins = Written by Case"
link is dead.  Anybody knows where else I can find such a plugin?  Please can
you test any links before referring - I've been also lead to dead links by
looking through messageboards that I came across on Google search.

  Thanks kindly for any help Folks.

You can download a Winamp plugin from: 
http://www.rarewares.org/files/others/in_speex.zip :) I just compiled 
this, using MSVC6, as a generic compile so it should run on just about 
anything. It's compiled using the 1.0.5 Stable libs.
