GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 676131
avdec_aac should be ranked above faad
Last modified: 2014-08-07 07:26:38 UTC
ffaac supports most everything faad does and is faster and not encumbered with license issues. The only things that faad supports that ffaac does not is the LD profile, and ER. There are things still missing from ffaac, like; SSR, BSAC, TwinVQ, CELP, and Structured Audio. These same features are missing from faad also.
There are unresolved issues around ffdec_aac that would need to be fixed first. And even then extensive testing should be done before switching.
And ffdec_aac should ideally be ported to GstAudioDecoder as well.
Removing bug #608892 from dependencies list again, since it's probably not so relevant for aac in practice.
Ported to GstAudioDecoder since some time. Should we do this now? :)
Would've prefered to do this closer to the beginning of the cycle than the end, but ok. It's been marginal for a while now, and I am not aware of any problems with it other than all the issues around latm streams (e.g. bug #679639), but that's independent I guess.
Should we do it now then?
Go for it :)
