Speex dev - Aug 2004 - Speex API for use with .Net applications

Hi,
I'm Ossama Khayat, an Arab .Net Framework developer.
I'm interested in building an API or COM component, of the speex codec,
that is suitable for use in a Windows Forms application.
This will be used in an Open Source project that will hopefully be
hosted in Source Forge one done.
I tried downloading the source code and compiling it but really couldn't
do much with it, especially that I'm not a C or C++ developer.
The way we do using .Net is as follows:
- If I have a COM component:
        - First register is with: regsvr32 speex.dll
        - Then add a reference to it in the application and use it.
- If I have the API (again as .dll):
        - I use the System.Runtime.Interop services namespace
        - Add a reference to it using this code:
--- Begin Code Snip ---
Public Class SpeexDecoder
        Public Declare Funtion (FunctionName) Lib "speex.dll" Alias
"DecodeFile" (ByVal strFileName as String) as (return type)
End Class
--- End Code Snip ---
        ... so this is used to add a reference to the function in the
API that would allow me to decode (as I don't need to encode files) and
play audio files.

Any help would be much appreciated.

A .NET API might be a useful thing.

The way I see it, the only way to do it would be using Managed C++
because you will have to encapsulate a non .NET component into
managed code. This can get quite messy. ;)

Indeed :)  - some preliminary sources at www.alexkomissarov.com/speexnet.zip

Shows how to use lib file from managed c++, and vb.net code to call managed
c++. Not sure it will work - look at it as a starting point...
