I know about the adagium "When it's done", but does anyone have an idea about what timeframe one should expect with FAAD2 HE AAC decoding support?
Days, weeks, months?
And from there how soon until a Winamp plugin or MPlayer would support it?
I have difficulty sleeping!

Previously, people have stated that it should be released around the same time as Nero 6. Being that the CD version is now on sale, and the downloadable version available July 25th, I would say that HE AAC in FAAD2 should be available anytime now.

Gday...


hmmmz. i have a question about :

am using the faad2 *floating point*
14. Apr. 2003.. from rarewares.

and that one decodes HE AAC
just fine.


so what will a new build bring.?
(have i missed something here..)

he aac is like mp3pro. old faad is decoding it without sbr part.

regards; ilikedirt

Ciao..

meaning :


input: HE AAC VBR/Stereo 50-70kbps = 68kbps 22050Hz
output: PCM 88200kbps 22050 stereo

so what will the decoding look like
with sbr..

If its like mp3pro then it will be treated on input and output as being 44100hz

It will have the 44.1 kHz sampling rate, and frequency content in 10-20 kHz range which is missing when decoded with non-SBR decoders, like FAAD2 which is currently available.

Ciao..

OK..

Menno.. get your ass.. back here !!

Well.. Since Menno is the one taking care of FAAD2, and he's coming back today evening from his vacation... We will see what happens
