MAD is a high-quality MPEG audio decoder. It currently supports MPEG-1
|
|
as well as the MPEG-2 extension to Lower Sampling Frequencies. All
|
|
three audio layers (Layer I, Layer II, and Layer III a.k.a. MP3) are
|
|
fully implemented.
|
|
|
|
MAD does not yet support MPEG-2 multichannel audio (although it should
|
|
be backward compatible with such streams) or AAC, nor does it support
|
|
the so-called MPEG 2.5 format.
|
|
|
|
MAD has the following special features:
|
|
|
|
- 24-bit PCM output
|
|
- 100% fixed-point (integer) computation
|
|
- completely new implementation based on the ISO/IEC standards
|
|
- distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL)
|
|
|
|
The software is distributed as a library (libmad) and command-line
|
|
front-end (madplay).
