When these codecs are used in files, they +are commonly encapsulated in Ogg to produce Ogg FLAC, Speex and Ogg Vorbis +files. + +libfishsound is a wrapper around the existing codec libraries and provides a +consistent, higher-level programming interface. It has been designed for use in +a wide variety of applications; it has no direct dependencies on Ogg +encapsulation, though it is most commonly used in conjunction with liboggz to +decode or encode FLAC, Speex or Vorbis audio tracks in Ogg files, including Ogg +Theora and Annodex. + +WWW: http://www.xiph.org/fishsound/ |
