Re: AUDIO Patch for FLAC and Ogg Opus support

MP3 decoding is inbound! - A solution to the seek issue is in the works; I've been in touch with David Reid, the author of dr_mp3, regarding a cached fast-seek table implementation and design. - dr_mp3 is now in the code and hooks for the seek table cache are ready. - David is going to start …

Re: Link Between Depression and 'Collecting'?

"One misconception about the difference between collecting and hoarding is the idea that collectors save things of value and that hoarders save trash. ... When a collector expands acquisitions beyond well-defined collections and loses the ability to keep these possessions organized, it becomes a …

Opus 1.3 has been released: https://hacks.mozilla.org/2018/10/introducing-opus-1-3/ Absolutely impressive work; I especially like the use of a neural network to detect when to switch between voice and music encoding! The bitrate demo (playable in your browser) shows how far they've come to improve …

Dominus wrote: What about mp3 decoding? This was working with SDL-Sound, I think. Tested MP3 playback with both DOSBox ECE-r4168 and DOSBox-r4168, and it's broken on both -- imgmount works, but silence during audio track playback. This is no doubt due to bugs in SDL_Sound 1.0.3.

Still banging my head on the dynrec problem. I hope you get a breakthrough ... with enough banging, eh :-) I did some thinking on a part of the patch (the use values from cue file instead of duration). This is quite a big change if I understand it correctly. Wouldn't it break games with wrong cue …

Feel free to throw a variety of frequencies, bit-depths, and mono-and-stereo at it too; I've tested it with 22 kHz mono FLACs as well as 96 kHz / 24-bit FLACs. It will report a bit of diagnostics during the loading: Copy code to clipboard 1 CDROM: Loaded ./audio/track02-24-96.flac [96000 Hz 2- …

Is mp3 even working in the existing DOSBox + SDL 1.0.3? All of my tests in the past showed that 'imgmount' will succeed, but when it comes to actual audio playback, you just get silence. I'm just a sample size of one.. so maybe playback works on other systems? Maybe there are huge boats of mp3-track …

Testing.. indeed! So far I've built and tested it on Ubuntu 18.04 Linux and Windows 10 with msys 1.0 + Git for Windows; I will test it on my raspberry pi in the coming days to get some ARM coverage. Would hugely appreciate coverage on other platforms; Mac OSX, BSD? Other MinGW variants like msys …

This patch makes compressed-audio handing internal to DOSBox. - It adds src/libs/decoders , which holds the top-level opus, flac, vorbis, and wav decoders - It adds src/libs/decoders/internal , where the opus-dependencies are fetched and built - It strips all references to SDL_Sound from configure. …

mingw32-msys1.0-gcc.txt Anyone test to make sure it still compiles with Mingw w/ Msys 1? Yup, the patched SDL_Sound builds clean under MinGW and Msys 1.0 (attached are my configure, make, and gcc -v logs). Glad to hear more people want to do away SDL_Sound and all its dependency baggage - I'll …

Out of interest, is your patch now independent of SDL-mixer X (? - never heard about X before this thread) and SDL-Sound? And if not, what does it patch? The SDL satellite libs and DOSBox or only DOSBox? Sorry for the confusion! Completely understandable given I started the thread talking about …

When it comes to lossy audio, you can't do better than Opus - it beats AAC, High-Efficiency-AAC, Ogg Vorbis, and MP3 across multiple ABX-based listening tests. The quality-gap keeps widening as new versions are released (we're only months away from Opus 1.3 being released). There are no drawbacks to …

Re: Night Owl(?) CDs? (w/ music???)

Ediit: Or maybe the night owl discs had a menu ? Again, this is exactly my question. Yes, I remember "Night Owl" as a series of shareware CDs, too. I didn't. I thought they were music-only. I googled "night owl cd msdos". You can see the ascii menu and categories in action here: https://m.youtube. …
