Hello,
I'm one of the guys who ported libmusepack to *nix.
Here's my opinion on the topic.
Current decoder is able to playback musepack-only audio files fine. Yes, sv7
bitstream is bad. Yes, seeking is an issue. Current decoder has a slow but
bit-perfect implementation of seeking.
Another issue with seeking is that there are no limits to block dependencies.
We had once a file with something like 1024 blocks dependencies, which
obviously isn't nice for packetizing the bitstream. I wish you all good luck
if you want to make a proper implementation around that in mpc-in-avi.
So what about musepack support in mplayer ?
A library of the encoder is currently in the making (which will be open-source
too btw). Hopefully it'll make it much more easier to make a real bitstream
for musepack, and why not, even choose nut or matroska as a 'native'
container.
So if any of you wants to work on musepack, I can only suggest to either do it
completely, come help us, and put up a new bitstream, we'll modify decoder
lib accordingly, mplayer will be able to mux/demux/play it properly.
Or mplayer could be restricted to play audio-only musepack files, and seeking
will be relatively slow.
We already have vorbis in AVI, please no broken mpc in AVI.
Grettings,
Benoît Amiaux
