Bug#488458: vorbis-tools: should accept input in libsndfile formats

[Rogério Brito]

Package: vorbis-tools
Version: 1.2.0-5
Severity: wishlist

Hi.

It would be highly desirable to have oggenc to have its input section
driven by libsndfile1, as that would allow, for instance, the
codification of speech files taken from regular S1MP3 recorders to be
vorbis files (some S1MP3 files record their files not in plain PCM
format, but in IMA ADPCM format).

I am member of the upstream team of maintainers of lame and it currently
has its input as libsndfile1 which makes things very flexible for users.
Since I would prefer to put the lectures that I give on-line, I would be
much more comfortable using Vorbis instead of MP3.


Thanks in advance, Rogério Brito.
