[plug] Speex follow-up

[Bernard Blackham]

Hi all,

For those who were at the talk tonight, I mentioned that speex
required an ACM codec to be used natively by NetMeeting and other
windows programs. I also said that some people have claimed to have
started work on it, but nothing had been seen yet.

Well, the following email arrived around 5pm today just after I left
the house (d'oh!).  In short, it's not quite ready, but it's
definitely getting closer!

Regards,

Bernard.

Subject: [speex-dev] Speex ACM codec released on www.openacm.org


I am glad to announce the BETA release of the Speex ACM codec.
It is based on the Speex 1.0.1 codec release.

An ACM codec enables Windows to create and play back WAVE files
containing Speex content. It might also be useful for use with
Netmeeting (after some registry hacking. Not tested yet.).

I also provide a portable playback tool (speexdec_wav) that
handles both the Ogg and WAVE containers.

Get the codec on www.openacm.org . Source code is available.
