Factor/GSoC/2009/Audio and video libraries

Skills required

  • Knowledge of C
  • Knowledge of Factor's FFI
  • Factor API design skills

Level

Beginner

Technical outline

Factor already has various multimedia libraries, in various states of disrepair:

  • ogg.vorbis - binding
  • ogg.theora - binding
  • ogg.player - Ogg video and audio player
  • mod - a libmod binding
  • id3 - ID3 parser in pure Factor
  • openal - 3D audio binding

These need to be cleaned up. Additional libraries and bindings, for example to libraries such as GStreamer, should be written too. The end goal would be a high-level idiomatic Factor API for embedding audio and video in GUI applications.

Benefit to the student

The student learns how to bind C libraries to Factor using Factor's FFI, and also learns how C multimedia libraries work.

Benefit to the community

Factor will be suitable for multimedia applications if this project is completed.
