Speex dev - Aug 2004 - Error in compiling Speexdec code (Speex-1.1.5code)onWindows usingVC++6.0

Thanks a lot Zen. Basically I'm trying to create a Speex decoder for Pocket
PC. Actually I've already implemented an application
for (talking phrasebook) Pocket PC using .NET CF. Now in that app I'm using
XAudio MP3 decoder to play MP3 files from within my application.
My doesn't have a player GUI, I'm just using the MP3 decoder
programmatically from within my app.

Now since MP3 have licensing issues, I'm trying to resort to an open-source
format that would be useful in the long run.
Moreover, MP3 is better suited for audio while Speex is better for speech, which
is my primary objective.

So, I'm trying to create a Speex decoder, which would play my Speex files
bundled with my application in a similar manner that of the MP3 files. Speex
would not only be an licensing free investment but will also cut down on the
file size vis-à-vis MP3.

If you have any such implementation w.r.t Speex for Pocket PC that I can
programmatically manage from within my app, it'd be simply great. Any
pointers on Speex decoders for Pocket PC and Palm would be simply great.

Thanks & regards,
Asheesh

Re: [speex-dev] Error in compiling Speexdec code (Speex-1.1.5 code)onWindows
usingVC++6.0If you use directshow on CE, that should give the ability to play
most files that can be played on normal windows platform... i haven't used
it much as i don't have a pocketpc to play with, but here is a good place to
start (URL may get broken)
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wceoak40/html/_cooriDirectShowOverview.asp

If your player is based on directshow it should be able to use my filters pretty
easily. Also wrt to mp3, my understanding could be wrong but if you use the mp3
components in directshow the royalty has already been paid by microsoft, so that
shouldn't be an issue (i am not a lawyer though !) though if it's for
philosophical reasons then yeah open - source is nice.

I have no specific implementation for pocketpc, but from what i understand the
CE version exposes most of the same stuff, and i know i've seen the docs for
most of the functions i use in the ce docs when searching. But like i say,
i'm not 100% sure that they are completely compatible as i don't have
one to test with.

You could maybe try the microsoft newsgroups for directshow to see if someone
knows for sure.

Re: [speex-dev] Error in compiling Speexdec code (Speex-1.1.5 code)onWindows
usingVC++6.0Actually one thing i should point out if you do decide to go this
route.... currently my demuxer builds a seek table, which could potentially be a
bit of a memory hog on a small device... though when i get around to adding the
networking code, i will have to use my bisection seek code, so the use of the
seek table would beome optional.Though on an average 5 meg file, the seek table
is around 20k. But on big files it could get quite large.
