This is the wxMultimedia package. It intends to be a portable way to access
some multimedia component on variable system. For the moment, I implemented
sound, video and CD access.
Sound features:
* low level/OSS style access to the sound card. You can open/setup the
parameters of the sound card then write/read directly to/from it.
* mid level codecs: compressors and sound codec are supported. For the
moment there is a support for G711/G721/G723 and MULAW formats (as well
PCM).
* high level format: WAV file format is supported in read/write and AIFF
format in read only
Sound bugs:
* it seems there are still some bugs in the recording code on Windows
on Cygwin B20.1 (to be verified)
* wave files created with wxSoundWave have some problem with Windows Media
Player (not windows recorder)
Video features:
* high level video file playing: on Unix you can play (through xanim) video
files directly into your application
* MPEG video file to be supported through SMPEG as soon as I have some free
time
Video bugs:
* Recode windows port
CD features:
* standard access to the CDAUDIO interface
CD bugs:
