Question for the DSP gurus:
How hard would it be to implement an AC3 encoder as a LADSPA plugin that
could be used in an ALSA config to encode stereo and 5.1 sources on the
fly? Many Windows drivers seem to contain one, and it would be a nice
response to the naysayers on LKML who doubt the power of ALSA.
You can't do it as a LADSPA plugin as the output format is binary, and
theres a reencoding stage. It could be done as an ALSA lib plugin though I
suspect.
