GStreamer Monkey’s Audio plugin 0.6
This is the first release of the standalone package containing
the GStreamer plugin for the Monkey’s Audio format
(monkeysaudio.com).
We decided to not include this plugin in our core release since
the basic Monkey’s Audio library that is included with the plugin
has a rather restrictive license which demands you get permission
from original author before doing anything with it except use it in
the form recieved.
Distributions wishing to include this plugin with the GStreamer
packages might do so under the permission we have recieved, but be
aware that it is a ‘free beer’ licensed plugin and do not satisfy
either the FSF, Debian or OSI standards for free software.
Monkey’s Audio is a lossless audio format similar to FLAC (FLAC
is also supported by GStreamer and available under the free LGPL
license.) In our experience monkey’s audio compresses the files a
bit more than FLAC does, but do demand a bit more CPU than FLAC to
decode, so it is a tradeoff.
This plugin should work both with the 0.6.x stable release
series and the upcoming 0.7.x development series of GStreamer. The
plugin installs both a decoder and an encoder, so you can use it to
playback your .ape files with GStreamer based applications like
Gst-player and Totem, to convert your .ape files to other formats
like FLAC, Ogg, Wav and Mp3 and to convert your other media files
to .ape files.
As a sidenote we do hope this plugin package will be usefull as
an example and source for buildscripts etc. for developers who wish
to distribute GStreamer plugins either standalone or with their
libraries and/or applications. For people doing libraries that are
yet not API stable this might be a better solution that including
the plugin in the core GStreamer packages as it will avoid
dependency problems when people upgrade to new versions of your
library.
