Please, somebody >correct me if I'm wrong.I have asked the same questions here on the mailing list assuming the same as you do, and yet noone has been able to explain that it is not so. In the media frameworks I've been working with, the demultiplexer must not only be capable of splitting a physical stream into logical streams, but also be able to tell the mime type of the logical stream and ideally also put an absolute, comparable time stamp on the logical stream packets. In the case of Ogg, this means that the demultiplexer must peek into the logical stream and based on the binary data try to determine what sort of content it contains. It is not possible to simply add a new decoder to support a new format. The only other possible solution I come to think of would be (and it's not a very practicable solution) if the framework loads every available decoder to check if it is able to decode this stream. It might not even be possible if the stream is not seekable. To put a time stamp on a Vorbis audio packet, the demultiplexer has to parse and understand the Vorbis header and every audio packet to get the stream's sample rate and the audio packet length in order to calculate a real time stamp based on the granular position. <p>Tor <p><p><p>==================================================================EASY and FREE access to your email anywhere: http://Mailreader.com/ ================================================================== <p>--- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'vorbis-dev-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.
