Bug 264329 – media-libs/gst-plugins-ivorbis [new ebuild] gstreamer plugin for integer-only implementation of vorbis format

• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Robert Piasek (RETIRED) 2009-03-30 19:09:57 UTC]

gstreamer plugin for integer-only implementation of vorbis format (know as Tremor).

It depends on libvorbisidec provided in bug #264327

Reproducible: Always

I don't see much demand for this outside of the embedded world..

[Comment 3 Robert Piasek (RETIRED) 2009-07-06 12:31:32 UTC]

isn't embedded world good enough reason? Plenty of embedded systems don't have floating point unit and this implementation really speeds things up (on my test machine cpu usage went down from ~60% to ~20%).


If you don't mind I can add/maintain it myself.


Thanks,
Rob

I don't think gstreamer herd would have any problems if you're willing to maintain this. @Olivier what say you?

It's a good argument :)

I agree with nirbheek about that

Does it really depends on a library inside gst-plugins-bad ? Otherwise please depend on -base or gst core as appropriate. And add it only with the keywords you've tested.

Once these are fixed, you can add it. I guess I (or whoever else maintains gst) will bump it with the rest of the gst packages when we do updates.

removing gnome from CC, gnome is shifting away from co-maintaining gstreamer.

[Comment 8 Mart Raudsepp 2010-12-20 19:52:43 UTC]

The functionality of gst-plugins-ivorbis has been moved together with gst-plugins-vorbis since a while now to share the common code, so this can't be a separate package now, but some kind of a USE flaggery on gst-plugins-vorbis. gstreamer is happy to add that support, but currently we can't manage to maintain the external dependency library on our own. If that reaches portage tree, we can add support for gst-plugins-vorbis eventually.

Was it bug 264327 ?

We will most likely add that support when new eclasses are commited.

[Comment 11 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) 2013-01-20 17:52:30 UTC]

I added this to 1.0.5-r1 ebuild.
0.10 needed a patch but it should be fine now.
