- Vorbis is a general purpose audio and music encoding format
- contemporary to MPEG-4's AAC and TwinVQ, the next generation beyond
- MPEG audio layer 3. Unlike the MPEG sponsored formats (and other
- proprietary formats such as RealAudio G2 and Windows' flavor of the
- month), the Vorbis CODEC specification belongs to the public domain.
- All the technical details are published and documented, and any
- software entity may make full use of the format without royalty or
- patent concerns.
- This package contains:
- - libvorbis, a BSD-license software implementation of the Vorbis
- specification by the Xiphophorus company.
- - libvorbisfile, a BSD-license convenience library built on Vorbis
- designed to simplify common uses.
- - libvorbisenc, a BSD-license library that provides a simple,
- programmatic encoding setup interface.
