demac - a decoder for Monkey's Audio files.
|
|
|
|
Introduction
|
|
|
|
demac is an implementation in portable ANSI C of a decoder for the
|
|
Monkey's Audio lossless compression format. It has the following
|
|
features:
|
|
|
|
* Open source (GNU GPL)
|
|
* Written in portable ANSI C
|
|
* Designed for use on low memory and embedded devices. All internal
|
|
buffers are statically declared - the core library doesn't require
|
|
malloc/free. This has the disadvantage that the library isn't
|
|
re-entrant.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Compatibility
|
|
|
|
|
|
libdemac is still in the early stages of development but has been
|
|
relatively well tested with v3.99 files at all compression levels.
|
|
|
|
v3.97 files have received less testing - 16-bit files seem to work,
|
|
but 24-bit files are causing problems in the range decoder.
|
|
|
|
Files earlier than v3.97 are not supported by libdemac, but support
|
|
might be added in the future.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Source Code
|
|
|
|
The source code in this directory is structured as follows:
|
|
|
|
demac/Makefile - Makefile for the standalone demac decoder
|
|
demac/demac.c - Simple standalone test program to decoder an APE file to WAV
|
|
demac/wavwrite.[ch] - Helper functions for demac.c
|
|
demac/libdemac/Makefile - A Makefile for use in Rockbox
|
|
demac/libdemac/*.[ch] - The main libdemac code
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
The latest version of demac and libdemac can always be found in the
|
|
"lib/rbcodec/codecs/demac/" directory in the Rockbox source. You can check
