Re: [Toolame-devel] API changes on 02n-beta2

[Nicholas J H. <nj...@ec...>]

Hello,

Mike Cheng contacted me asking me to rename/version my unofficial 
toolame release. I should have made it clearer in the first place.


He wants to keep the toolame code simple, and doesn't want to have a 
dependency on libsndfile. I personally think it is very handy being 
able to encode other audio file formats, and supporting more variants 
of the WAV file format.

So I think I am going to start a separate fork, based on the changes I made.


Thinking of calling it twolame. Not quite as good a pun but hey! 
Sufficiently different ? Any other suggestions ?

I look at renaming symbols, so that it compiles alongside LAME for 
the next release.

- changed build system to use automake/libtool
- now builds shared library
- restructured lots of code
	- Removed some dead code and unused files
- should now be close to being thread safe
- removed memory leaks / static variables
- changed library API so that it is almost the same as LAMEs
	- hopefully not too many people have been using the old API
	- not too many big differences
	- will hopefully add resampling support to next release
	- API is ready for resampling support to be added
	- ready for downmixing to be added to libtoolame
- Added libsndfile support to toolame frontend (if you have it)
- moved set/get functions into get_set.c
- I have broken energy levels support (sorry !) - will try and fix
- Added LGPL header to the top of all the files
- Added toolame_encode_buffer_interleaved
- other stuff I have forgotten
- Frontend displays information about the input file format
- Fixed bug with audio_get_samples reading more than buffer size
- Added asciidoc documentation
- Added doxygen documentation
