Hello all, I'm a Summer of Code student and I'm interested in the MP3, AAC, and MDCT optimization project ideas. However, I'm concerned about my lack of experience with DSP and codecs--I know the basic concepts, but I've never worked on nontrivial DSP or codec code. I'll start researching and looking through the source, but I'd appreciate any suggestions for exercises or references, so I can determine whether one of these projects would be a good choice for me.
Thanks, Sean Bartell (wtachi)
