Subject: Unified codec interface
Date: 31 Jan 2003 00:21:35 +0100
Here is what I imagined (just vague thoughts, nothing polished):
Let's suppose we have a hypotetical library called
"Free Universal Codec Kit" - ..um...well.. Frunick for short :)
(Of course I am not proposing this name, I'm sure the suits in the
industry would not like it...but for my example its OK ;)
Now, an application should do something like this:
#include <frunick.h>
void *my_encoder = create_frunick_encoder();
// a new encoding context
char **codecs = get_available_frunick_codecs();
// returns list of available codecs
load_frunick_codec(my_encoder, "vorbis");
//dynamically loads the selected codec, returns error if not available
char **parameters == get_frunick_codecs_parameters();
//get a list of the tuneable params of the selected codec
pecify_frunick_parameter(my_encoder, "quality", "7");
//set a parameter of the codec
....and so on.
I have not yet looked into nor gstreamer nor uci
( http://uci.sourceforge.net/ ), so I don't know whether this thing
already exists ... but I hope once it will!
