in_speex Files

WinAmp plugin for speex codec



I have taken the in_speex_src.zip file (which is almost impossible to find now!) 
and gone ahead and added primative streaming support via the wininet.dll  
This does mean that you will have to have Internet Explorer 3.0 or higher 
installed, or just take the wininet.dll from Internet Explorer 3.0 
(this has been tested on NT 4.0 workstation sp1)

I'm building this whole thing under NT 4.0 & Visual C++ 6.0, I don't know if it
will build with lower or higher versions of Visual C++, I just got the idea after
browsing the source that it'd build best with VC 6.0.

Installation is pretty straightforward, just copy the in_speex.dll to your 
winamp/plugins directory, and re-launch winamp.

32bit users will have a path like this:
C:\Program Files\Winamp\Plugins

64bit users will have a path like this:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Winamp\Plugins

I know it's not that much of a test, but the plugin works fine on my NT 4.0
Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows 7 x64 machines on the following site:

The spx files can either be opened directly, or the m3u playlist can be opened,
and Winamp will play away. And versions 2.24  & 5.572

The only 'catch' at the moment I can think of is that the original version would read
the entire file to determine the length, which isn't practical for streaming, so I 
just read the first 8kb, and use that to sample the file parameters... I don't know
if that is so bad, but I thought I'd mention it.

I don't think I can really support this, I'm just standing on the shoulders of giants
but drop me a line if it's working for you.. or not, I can try to help but I can't
promise much.
