Speex dev - Aug 2004 - Quality

Hi

I'm trying to unzip the source code for the Speex Encoder, but I'm not
having much success.  I've tried using WinZip (unregistered version 8.0) and
PowerArchive (version 6.1).  Neither of them open the files
"speex-1.0rc2.tar.gz" or "refman.tar.gz".  What am I doing
wrong?

Many thanks

Jim

I was wondering if the developers were using anything to "objectively"
test
the quality of the speex vocoder.  For instance PSQM or one of the many
derivatives.  Mean Opinion Scoring seems an expensive route.

Is there some open source software to use for this?

I've changed the served MIMEtype for .gz files; let me know if the bug
changes or persists. Seems like something was off-kilter on our end of
things, and this confuses some clients.

.tar.gz files are first archived up with the 'tar' program, then
compressed with the 'gzip' program (.gz extension); most browsers
are notorious for un-gzipping a .tar.gz file without renaming it.

Since you're using Windows, it is very likely that the .gz extension
is confusing your archiver because it expects it to be a .tar file
within a .gz file, when in fact it's just a .tar file with the
extension .tar.gz.

Thus, rename it to just .tar and see if it works.
Otherwise, WinRAR doesn't seem braindead about this kinda stuff.
