I've just uploaded version 0.1.0 of the experimental CELT codec I'm working on (see this for background info). You can get at: http://downloads.us.xiph.org/releases/celt/celt-0.1.0.tar.gz
Note that it's still not recommended for anything important. New in this release are:
- Decoder is now bit-exact with what the encoder thought it encoded
(thanks to Timothy Terriberry)
- There's some bit-rate management, but no dynamic allocation yet
- There's an Ogg encoder and decoder now (celtenc/celtdec). Not that Ogg
is really useful for a low-delay codec, but it can be useful for testing.
At this point, I'm still looking for a decent name for the codec. CELT
(Code-Excited Lapped Transform) is more the generic name of the
algorithm than a codec name. Some ideas I've had/received so far:
- Shrinx
- Tilde (Tilde Is a Low-Delay Encoder), or variants
- Celtix
Any suggestions?
