Hi,

When Google released the code for Android Gingerbread in December, they 
released source code for two new Apache 2.0 licensed audio encoders 
provided by VisualOn, for AAC and AMR-WB.

These encoders are now wrapped up in standalone encoder libraries, 
vo-aacenc and vo-amrwbenc, just as for opencore-amr (which included an 
AMR-NB encoder and decoder, and an AMR-WB decoder) before.

These projects, while not sharing any code with opencore-amr, are quite 
similar in their heritage and style (being a standalone wrapping of codecs 
from another framework), and are hosted under the opencore-amr sourceforge 
project for now. The release files are available at 
https://sourceforge.net/projects/opencore-amr/files/, and the code is 
available in git at 
git://opencore-amr.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/opencore-amr/vo-aacenc
and 
git://opencore-amr.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/opencore-amr/vo-amrwbenc 
respectively.

The same code is also available on github, at 
https://github.com/mstorsjo/vo-aacenc and 
https://github.com/mstorsjo/vo-amrwbenc for easier collaboration.

The vo-amrwbenc library provides a very minimal interface similar to what 
the old, unredistributable libamrwb used, so any code that used that 
library can easily be adapted to use vo-amrwbenc instead. The vo-aacenc 
library, on the other hand, directly exposes the VisualOn audio codec 
interface. Both libraries come with an optional example program showing 
how to use their interfaces.

The code in these libraries are (just as for opencore-amr) relicensed 
versions of 3GPP reference code, but all of it has, to the best of my 
knowledge, been checked for legal correctness by Google.

In addition to the original reference code, they also contain some 
optimizations for ARM, initially done by VisualOn, and further improved by 
Mans Rullgard.
