[FFmpeg-soc] GSoC 2008 participation

[Bartlomiej Wolowiec]

I would like to participate in GSoC this year and make some project for 
FFmpeg. As a qualification task I'm finishing last year's work - EAC3 
decoder. This year I am keen to write some audio decoder. I'm interested in 
few ideas from the list. I will be pleased to hear any suggestions about 
them.

G.723.1 Encoder:
This task sounds good mainly because the documentations looks very good and 
there are decoder/encoder patterns. I've got one question: do you mean making 
fixed or floating-point encoder or both of them?

ALAC Encoder:
I would like to try to write the encoder base on alac.c and flac*.c, then try 
myself in efforts of developing existing decoder through reverse engineering.

Nellymoser Encoder:
I understand that here work should be based on the decoder code (I saw that 
the documentation is available, but it costs $6000), am I right?

or possibly any other encoder is very necessary? (I'm keen to write it :) )
