the altlinux guys have a patch for dlopening the amr libs at runtime. I haven't tested it and I think it needs more work, because the package needs to include copies of the headers here. but the most complicated work is already in this patch, so if somebody wants to work on it, feel free. Please

You've been asked to stop spamming this bug report with useless comments but have refused. I am sick and tired of these pointless bug mails wasting my time as I look through my Launchpad mail for work to do. For the record I am unsubscribing from this bug and blocking further bug updates generated

How does one configure bug blocking in Launchpad? Please mark this bug as blocking Bug #1.

There is ongoing work to implement the ACELP codecs in ffmpeg, this includes AMR, G.729, and RealAudio SIPR. This is quite a large project as there are many variants of this codec. The current (incomplete) code is available in the ffmpeg svn: http://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk/libavcodec/ The

The 3GPP wants me to fill out a copyright questionnaire to make a formal request regarding relicensing the AMR codec. I am not a lawyer nor a software engineer, so I would appreciate it if people more qualified than I would review the document and email me the results. Thanks. ** Attachment added:

I was wrong, I read AAC as AMR because I sat at the computer when I should have been sleeping! In any case I have already heard back from the 3GPP and there seems to be little in the way of getting the native AMR codec opened up. They don't know very much about software licensing, and simply slapp

I agree with Reinhard, looks like they're closer to a native AAC decoder (i.e. not relying on faad) but no progress update on an AMR decoder or encoder. -- ffmpeg does not have AMR audio support https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/93849 You received this bug notification because you are a member of U

That's good to hear. however, from a bugtracker purpose, it is more effective if the bug were closed for now and reopened once this work is available in a position that Ubuntu developers can work off. On Mon, Sep 15, 2008 at 3:30 PM, Roman Polach <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > As noted at > http://

No it should be closed as invalid until such a solution is available. We can't have 1 open bugs for every feature perceived as missing or this bugtracker would be pointless for the developers. On 9/15/08, dotancohen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > My field is Mechanical Engineering, not CS. And l
