vgmstream

This is vgmstream, a library for playing streamed audio from video games.
It is very much under development. There are two end-user bits: a command
line decoder called "test.exe", and a Winamp plugin called "in_vgmstream".

*********** IMPORTANT!! ***********
--- needed files (for Windows)  ---
Since Ogg Vorbis, MPEG audio, and G.722.1 are now supported, you will need to
have libvorbis.dll, libmpg123-0.dll, and libg7221_decode.dll.
You can get these from http://hcs64.com/files/vgmstream_external_dlls.zip

Put libvorbis.dll, libmpg123-0.dll, and libg7221_decode.dll somewhere Windows
can find them.
For in_vgmstream this means in the directory with winamp.exe, or in a
system directory. For test.exe this means in the same directory as test.exe,
or in a system directory.

--- test.exe ---
Usage: ./test [-o outfile.wav] [-l loop count]
    [-f fade time] [-d fade delay] [-ipcmxeE] infile
Options:
    -o outfile.wav: name of output .wav file, default is dump.wav
    -l loop count: loop count, default 2.0
    -f fade time: fade time (seconds), default 10.0
    -d fade delay: fade delay (seconds, default 0.0
    -i: ignore looping information and play the whole stream once
    -p: output to stdout (for piping into another program)
    -P: output to stdout even if stdout is a terminal
    -c: loop forever (continuously)
    -m: print metadata only, don't decode
    -x: decode and print adxencd command line to encode as ADX
    -g: decode and print oggenc command line to encode as OGG
    -e: force end-to-end looping
    -E: force end-to-end looping even if file has real loop points
    -r outfile2.wav: output a second time after resetting

Typical usage would be:
test -o happy.wav happy.adx
to decode happy.adx to happy.wav.

--- in_vgmstream ---
Drop the in_vgmstream.dll in your Winamp plugins directory. Please follow
the above instructions for installing the other files needed.

--- File types supported by this version of vgmstream ---

As manakoAT likes to say, the extension doesn't really mean anything, but it's
the most obvious way to identify files.
