Hi,

some cameras or phones produce avis's with audio in ulaw format
and since it came up again on irc, I've thrown together a decoder for
it.

Hi, thanks for this contribute
I've a concern and an observation regard this code.

The corcern regards the ulaw_decode table in extract_ulaw.h: is this a
rip from libquicktime sources? I'm wondering about (theorical?)
copyright issues, transcode has plenty of those in past days and I never
liked them.
This same table appears on wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulaw) so it should be OK to use. Wikipedia are usually pretty fussy about copyright. They claim it originated in "g711.c" from Sun Microsystems.
