Hi there. First of all, I'd like to congratulate to developers for making a free specification and LGPLed decoder/encoder. :-). I did some test, ripping 17 tracks of my CD and converting them to both MP3 and OGG format. MP3 encoder/player was Lame 3.70 OGG encoder/player was from a Saturday nightly tgz package. ------------------------------------ MP3: LAME-3.70 mpg123-0.59r-4 MP3: lame -S

I'm attempting to get a Linux box to authenticate users from NT. I think it's possible by writing a PAM module (not hard) and using part of Samba's source to verify the password on the NT server. I'm getting pretty bogged down trying to work out how to do this - it seems like it should be simple - just take the password and username and ask the NT server if it's correct. If

Hi, I released Squelch 1.0beta9. It's a multi-platform Ogg Vorbis player, if you haven't heard of it. [1] Find it here: http://www.geoid.clara.net/rik/squelch.html Differences from beta8: * Vorbis comment editor ! [2] * More intelligent re-initialisation of output driver. * Stupid bugs in auto-update of master track list resolved. * Some bugs fixed, some more introduced ;) In theory,

Hi, I recently migrated from Windows to Linux. I´ve used Linux quite a bit in server-enviroments, but as a desktop I have very little experience. I am now looking for a tool to rip CD´s to Ogg with CDDA support. I´ve tried KonCD, but it lacks features and is abit buggy. Sure, I can use cdparanoia, rename the wav´s to the right names and then encode to ogg via oggenc. But since I use X I

Hello! I am about to buy a new computer, and because encoding/decoding .ogg files is the most processor intensive thing I intend to regularly do, I would like to know which is the "recommended" processor for real-time encoding (I record my favourite radio shows). TIA! Bye, Joane Lispton PS: I receive the FM radio stations through my cable (the one which brings me cable TV),

I downloaded all the Beta 4 libraries/tools yesterday and compiled them - everything went fine. ogg123 works fine - it plays files off the website. So does the XMMS plugin (I just built XMMS and had it build the vorbis plugin that it came with) oggenc seems to work fine, in that all of its output looks normal: [ttyp3@dalek:tear-require-0.2.0/CDDB_get-1.4 @00:39] oggenc track03.cdda.wav

I've added ao_get_latency to my copy of ao. This function allows you to discover the number of bytes that are buffered between yourself and the speakers. Status for the various devices: * null - implemented (just returns 0.) * wav - implemented (just returns 0.) * esd - implemented but untested. * oss - implemented. * alsa - implemented. * arts - implemented. * solaris -

<ad> .q.u.e.l.c.h is an audio player dedicated to Ogg Vorbis. This is a bugfix release. RPMs available for i386, i486, i586, i686 and Athlon. Source available as tar.gz, tar.bz2 and src.rpm. http://www.geoid.clara.net/rik/squelch.html Tested on Linux, may work elsewhere. Requires only Vorbis, libao and Qt (compiled with thread support.) </ad> Have fun ;) Rik --- >8 ----

Jake, You could decode the compressed audio to raw audio, pipe it into the ice system and have it "re-encode" to a consistent bitrate and format (Vorbis/MP3). If there's nothing with the Ice software that's this versatile, you'll have to write a small shell script, which does something like calls ogg123/mpg123 and outputs decoded audio. Now I mention this as potentially

I've written an Ogg Vorbis (only !) player, which some may like to play with. It works for me (tm) and I like it. If you don't, well, you know what you can do with it ;) I leave it running 24/7 and it plays my music without problems and without annoying me. That's all it's for, really. You can get it from http://www.geoid.clara.net/rik/arch/squelch.tar.gz The README follows ...

oggenc -b 128 -d 1985 -N 01 -t "Black Planet" -l "First and Last and Always" -a "Sisters of Mercy" track01.cdda.wav egs in free in simple_utf8_encode. I tracked it down to a mis-calculated buffer size for malloc. I've attached the patch that fixes it (for me:). The only problem I have with the rest of the code is figuring out how the terminating 0 (null,

Hi, Some days ago I checked out the ogg vorbis stuff from cvs. I used the CDDA extracting tool to convert 1 of my disks to wav files. Then I encoded them to ogg. The sound was OK. The I wanted to do the same with another disk. But the ogg files containded short pieces of garbage sound. Sometimes first, sometimes last. They also caused more xmms segfault than the ogg files from the first disk.

I have got libao up to oggenc and ogg123 working on Mac OS X Public Beta now. I'd like to submit patches, but last time I did, they never got committed by anyone. Who is in charge of committing stuff? Does someone want to nominate themselves to review and commit my patches? The patches are briefly: - On Mac OS X dlopen() is not very well supported, so libao has been cleaned up a bit to

Or rather - the ogg123 seems to run faster than the oggenc. Based on the vorbis toots 1.0_1,3 I've got (on freebsd) a small streaming server which essentially takes the oss/vox audion input; uses the code from oggenc to make a stream and then a bit of apache 2.0 to dole that stream out over TCP to various clients: setup oss /dev/dspW0.0 16 bit stereo 44k1. create ogg/vorbis

This patch (along with all the previous patches) gets oggenc and ogg123 working. This does not get vorbiscomment working, although I assume that would be trivial -- just add the getopt stuff to the project just like I did in ogg123. In addition to this patch, as I just mentioned, getopt1.c getopt.h and getopt.c need to be copied from oggenc to ogg123 and added. The host check in

What I want to do is put up an icecast 2 server streaming vorbis, but the original live stream is mp3. It seems that I want to do something like this (with all the options left out for clarity): mpg123 | lame | something where the "something" is some command that sends the bits to icecast like ices. Does such a thing exist for ogg/vorbis? Is there a better way to do this?

Moin, Two questions I have. Actually, the first isn't so much a question. It seems that `ogg123' is not able to play streams from stdin, at least not for me on FreeBSD. It also seems that with the patches way down below, it can play from stdin for me -- I handle stdin like http-transport and return the same values for seeking and the like, to avoid calls that fail, and so it works,

Greetings one and all; I'm not subscribed to this list so I'm first sending this message to verify that mails from me make it through, and then later I'll send the juicy messages with patches. Also, the address I'm using is IPv6-only and doesn't often work, so drop me from any replies and I'll catch the archives, or drop only the hostname part to get an IPv4 address that
