[FFmpeg-devel] AMR-WB+ support in Ffmpeg

Hi all. I was attempting to add AMR-WB+ support into my working copy of R-16140;
however, my modifications did not work as expected, and I wasn't sure if I had
missed anything along the way. I am as yet not too familiar with the current
Ffmpeg API, which may have something to do with it. Up to now, I have done the
following:
I downloaded the reference code for TS-26.304 from
http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/specs/archive/26_series/26.304/26304-700.zip. After
extracting the file, I successfully built a shared library (I called it
libamrwb.so.1.0.0 for testing purposes
 used to build the library was located in the c-code/lib_amr directory. After
building the library, I started diffing the AMR-WB+ code against the original
AMR-WB floating point codec, by starting with dec_main.c. I found that a lot of
the function calls and variable declarations were identical, so I went ahead
with trying to link Ffmpeg against the new library. Before I could attempt to
recompile Ffmpeg though, I found that configure complained about Libamr_WB not
being found. In looking through the undefined symbols, I found that these were
gain_hf_ramp, oversamp_12k8, smooth_ener_hf, and soft_exc_hf. I found references
to these in dec_util.c, and found that they had only been prototyped, but had
been called in the file anyway; therefore, removing the prototypes and
function calls, rebuilding the library, and copying it back into place along
with the headers fixed the problem (configure was able to compile a test program
this time around). Before running make though, I had taken a statement out of
libavcodec/libamr.c, as shown in this diff.

 }


Make ran ok; I got the Ffmpeg binary reinstalled, and everything looked to be
ok. However, when I finally went to decode my test.3gp file, whose audio is
encoded in AMR-WB+, I got:
ffmpeg -acodec libamr_wb -i test.3gp test.wav

I keep getting that message indefinitely, and my test.wav output file keeps
growing with presumably null bytes. 

Did I in fact miss something when attempting to link against my test AMR-WB+
library? Perhaps there is more that needs to be done in libavcodec/libamr.c to
get the decoding working properly? Or, is AMR-WB+ already supported somewhere,
and I just have not found the correct patch yet? Any pointers or advice that you
may be able to provide with regards to my above process would be appreciated.
Thanks!
