Mentor: Mike Melanson

AAC

Implement a new, optimized AAC decoder based on the emerging open specification document.

Mentor: Mike Melanson

FFmpeg Refactoring

Modularize the FFmpeg libraries so that each individual codec and muxer/demuxer modules can be easily enabled and disabled at compile time.

Mentor: Mike Melanson

libavformat

Improve and document libavformat API

Mentor: Luca Barbato

SNOW

Optimize and document SNOW wavelet codec Mentor: Luca Barbato

AC3

Implement a LGPL (E)AC3 decoder Mentor: Benjamin Larsson

Profiling and Optimization

Profile and optimize memory usage

Vorbis

Implement a Vorbis encoder

AMR

Implement a LGPL AMR decoder (encoder)

MP3

Implement a simple MP3 encoder

Pyschoacoustics

Implement a good pychoacoustic model. Support the usage of this model from the AC3, MP2 and other audio encoders.
