[Lame-dev] MP3 Encoder/Decoder MC application

[Robert L. <R-L...@gm...>]

Hello there!

I am an engineering student, and I've just started my final year project.
My project is related to Mp3 Encoding and Decoding,
so hopefully someone within this mailinglist can help me:
 
I want to do some DSP performance tests of a specific microcontroller,
and I've chosen Mp3 Encoding/Decoding as an Example application. 
At the start of the project I want to compile an open source Encoding an 
Decoding Program into the controller without using any Operating System.
This application should be able to convert raw audio format streams 
into the MP3 audio compression format and vice versa.
After the performance measurement, I am going to optimise the code with predefined DSP library routines or hand- optimse it on Assembler level to see the difference in performance behaviour.   
So right now I am looking for useful and simple C code which requires the least effort and minimum edits to compile it into the restricted environment of a microcontroller. 

My first idea was to use LAME, since it's well maintained and tested.
but it seems to me that the Lame project has huge dimensions and is more focussed on PCs with common Operating Systems. I am afraid that LAME offers lots of features which I cannot use or which are needless for my aim. As I already mentioned, it's just an example application for the main task of checking DSP behaviour of the specific chip.  
So, should I look for something else than LAME?


I would appreciate any kind of suggestions!

Thanks!
Robert Leiking
