Hi, (apologies for losing the link before ;-)
That bug report seems to point out the right places. Here's some more thoughts about making OpenMAX components for free codecs (also thinking about other codecs like Theora and Speex): http://blog.kfish.org/2009/02/is-openmax-important-for-free-software.html After some discussions at FOMS last month, we might be able to get a few people together and co-ordinate this through Xiph.org. Conrad. 2009/2/24 Ben McCann <b...@benmccann.com>: > I envisioned this being implemented as a patch to Android at the OS level. > It looks like Android has native decoders which the media player and Java > APIs call.
