GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 519516
iMelody demuxer
Last modified: 2008-04-08 21:54:07 UTC
iMelody specs: http://developer.sonyericsson.com/getDocument.do?docId=65053 iMelody "ringtones" support embedding Wave and Midi files. It should be pretty straight forward to write a demuxer for that file type, so the files are handled directly by the right plugin in the pipeline. (Unfortunately, I can't find any example files for it, just a lot of software to do the conversions).
I found http://www.convert-ringtones.com/ which should be able to convert the Wave and Midi files into iMelody files.
Ok, I've added a typefinder for this so far 2008-03-03 Sebastian Dröge <slomo@circular-chaos.org> * gst/typefind/gsttypefindfunctions.c: (plugin_init): Add typefinder for IMelody files, using audio/x-imelody. See bug #519516. I could only find imelody files with notes in them, if you find any with wav or mid or something else please give URLs :)
I can't find any. I guess I got ahead of myself when I read "The definition can be extended by defining new formats for MIDI/WAV, DTMF, polyphonic etc." It can be extended, but hasn't been because it's easier just to have the data itself, on its own.
