It seems feasible: We start with:
static int AC3_encode_init(AVCodecContext *avctx) And the struct AVCodecContext contain the number of channels: typedef struct AVCodecContext { int bit_rate; int bit_rate_tolerance; /* amount of +- bits (>0)*/ int flags; int sub_id; /* some codecs needs additionnal format info. It is stored there */ int me_method; /* ME algorithm used for video coding */ /* extra data from parent application to codec, e.g. huffman table for mjpeg */ /* the parent should allocate and free this buffer */ void *extradata; int extradata_size; /* video only */ int frame_rate; /* frames per sec multiplied by FRAME_RATE_BASE */ int width, height; int aspect_ratio_info; #define FF_ASPECT_SQUARE 1 #define FF_ASPECT_4_3_625 2 #define FF_ASPECT_4_3_525 3 #define FF_ASPECT_16_9_625 4 #define FF_ASPECT_16_9_525 5 int gop_size; /* 0 = intra only */ enum PixelFormat pix_fmt; /* pixel format, see PIX_FMT_xxx */ int repeat_pict; /* when decoding, this signal how much the picture */ /* must be delayed. */ /* extra_delay = (repeat_pict / 2) * (1/fps) */ /* if non NULL, 'draw_horiz_band' is called by the libavcodec decoder to draw an horizontal band. It improve cache usage. Not all codecs can do that. You must check the codec capabilities before */ void (*draw_horiz_band)(struct AVCodecContext *s, UINT8 **src_ptr, int linesize, int y, int width, int height); /* audio only */ int sample_rate; /* samples per sec */ int channels; ^ Here | Then, I'm a little bit lost, but I will figure it out. My only problem is that this library seems to be dedicated to video encoding. What if we try to use it for only sound/music encoding ???
