[lame] support voice preset and gapless encoding for contiguous files
Last modified: 2010-02-28 11:37:49 UTC
For example, lame has a very useful --preset called "voice" which optimizes encoding for audiobooks. Yes, I wish I could use Speex, but I can't :-( Also, lame has gapless support for contiguous files, which would be nice to add to the sink under certain circumstances. Running gst-inspect lame shows the supported switches, but these kinds of features don't seem to be hooked up.
About the "voice" option. I don't see it for a preset. Just medium, standard, extreme, insane, CBR, and a few others. But, no voice?
Matt: I can't see a voice preset either (lame 3.98.2) - could you provide more details? Could you also elaborate a bit on the use cases for gapless encoding that you'd like to see supported? FWIW, we have actually moved away from the 'provide a trizillion switches that are not hooked up or supported properly or interact in odd ways' model and would recommend the 'new' lamemp3enc plugin instead, which has fewer options.
