[Scummvm-devel] Idea: IndexedMp3AudioStream

[Max Horn]

... or we use VBRI, which allows between 1 and 4 bytes per table entry, and an arbitrary number of them.

Example source code from Frauenhofer can be found on <http://www.iis.fraunhofer.de/bf/amm/download/sw/index.jsp>, specifically <http://www.iis.fraunhofer.de/fhg/Images/MP3%20VBR-Header%20Software%20Development%20Kit_tcm97-68050.zip>.

I mean, before we define our own custom ID3 tag, we should investigate this one...

But anyway, as I already wrote: We could simply start using any one of these formats; if we write our code the way we should, it should be easy to support both VBRI and XING and LAME INFO tags with only minimal changes, and even simultaneously.

Cheers,
Max
