question on mvp with mp3s

[jorm]

So i am playing around with what would be needed for a voice over ip plugin with camera support that I can use on the MVP the idea is you would use an ip cam as the interface. The problem I see is the fact that the MVP does not support wav files. So i am trying to figure a way to transcode the mp3 to wav.

Does anyone know if the MVP is buffering the mp3? Or is gbpvr streaming out the data real time?

Yes, it is buffering them.

How do you do transcoding of other audio forms to mp3. Does it just buffer what it can so you can transcode on the fly?

What I am going to try to do is write a mp3 stream from the microphone and play it on the gbpvr. The mp3 will not be complete but hopefully faster then the playing. So I am trying to figure out if the buffering will be a problem if I am writing to the file as it is being played. (asuming my machine is fast enough).

I use the lame encoder filter to write a temporary MP3 file, then start playback of that file. The MVP only starts playback after it has buffered whatever it requires to satisfy its internal buffering requirements.

Excellent. That is what I was trying to figure out. Thank you.
