I am looking for multi-channel audio encoder/decoders (e.g. AAC, A52, vorbis, AC3 etc.) suitable for implementation as a pd extern, or better yet, already implemented in pd and I just haven't heard about it. Would anyone have any leads on this?
i dont know how suitable it is but i would love to have a gstreamer object (http://www.gstreamer.net). it is a linux programm able to read/write audio and video. and it allows multiple audio channel. a "src" (gstreamer term) is needed to read and a "sink" to write.
Since we are talking about stuff we'd like to see written, I'd love to see a set of objects to do 3D audio. Creative's OpenAL (http://www.openal.org/home/ ) is open source, so its a good candidate.
