MAD (libmad) is a high-quality MPEG audio decoder. It currently supports
|
|
MPEG-1 and the MPEG-2 extension to Lower Sampling Frequencies, as well as
|
|
the so-called MPEG 2.5 format. All three audio layers (Layer I, Layer II,
|
|
and Layer III a.k.a. MP3) are fully implemented.
|
|
|
|
MAD does not yet support MPEG-2 multichannel audio (although it should be
|
|
backward compatible with such streams) nor does it currently support AAC.
|
|
|
|
MAD has the following special features:
|
|
|
|
- 24-bit PCM output
|
|
- 100% fixed-point (integer) computation
|
|
- completely new implementation based on the ISO/IEC standards
|
