I wouldn't know about the performance of Java in general, but certainly AAC(+) encoding isn't trivial. Decoding is somewhat easier, as usual. However, the whole idea is probably quite a bit problematic, because AAC coding, streaming and playback are subject to a ton of patents and MPEG-LA licensing. I wouldn't know how that fits withtin the ASF, but I'd imagine it's edge-case at best. -- Brane --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
