mpegsound README.LIB(International) MPEG/WAVE player library This library have NO WARRANTY. You can use this under Library GPL. This library uses part from vplay, maplay 1.2 for linux, maplay 1.2+ for Win95. This is library which can make program play MPEG-1/2 audio and Wave file easily. Detail is in ChangeLog CAUTION The current implementation was tested with little endian architecture. Bigendian is implemented. But I don't test. Hackers... please help me! What's the difference? For example; unsigned char a[4]={0x11,0x22,0x33,0x44}; unsigned int *b=(unsigned int *)&a; Little endian (Intel) : 0x44332211 Big endian : 0x11223344 The classes 'mpegtoraw' and 'bitwindow' are endian dependent. OTHER ENDIAN PROBLEM Some machines can access integer type variables when they are aligned at 4-bytes. If endian problem is solved. It cause serious problem. I have exploited the linear properties of 2 and 3 dimensional arrays. like for example; int a[4][4]; a[1][0]==a[0][4] is true. Of course, It may occur boundary problem. But it may make player faster! IMPROVED Using mpg123 code, I improved performance of this library. Thank you for authors of mpg123 ENGLISH PROBLEM I release README with International (English) and Korean (my native lang) The Korean version should be ok, but the english version have many spelling mistakes and confusing words and sentences. Please forgive me and help me correct the english. PROBLEM? Please send me bug report or patches.(Please comment where is changed) to: jwj95@eve.kaist.ac.kr jwj95@nownuri.net THANKS FOR this document. Tommy Thorn
