Libraries
So far I think the project should include the following libraries (as opposed to creating a custom alternative), because the amount of work involved in rewriting AND maintaining is just too high.
- OGG Audio file reading
- OGV Video file playback
- OPIS Speech encoding
- GTK library (for possible dark radiant rewrite?)
We should have make/batch files for building the libraries and creating binaries of the libraries in the libraries directory (testgenprotectremoval branch) labeled ./Libraries/LIBFOLDER/libnameBITSIZE.dll (example for windows 32 bit ./Libraries/SDL/sdl32.dll)
I like the OGG/OGV idea. :) I haven't heard of OPIS, though if you're going with OGG wouldn't SPEEX be more... uniform? (IIRC they're done by the same group.)
I have no comment on GTK,
Additionally, there's Paraffin for doing parallelization -- http://sourceforge.net/projects/paraffin/ I haven't had opportunity to use it, but I know it's an Ada 2012 project/lib.
Interesting, I will look into paraffin.
The idea to go with opus came from the xiph website which put a big banner up claiming opus was a better project (http://www.speex.org/). Although I am not really a fan of GTK it is included because the map editors (radiant variants) and GPS both happen to use it
I see. I saw that banner after I mentioned Speex -- hadn't heard of Opus before.

yea, i hope i didn't confuse you by misspelling it opis : /
on the topic of paraffin I think I will rewrite and use it's task_pool-bounded as a replacement of id-tech's job system, thanks for suggesting it shark.
You're welcome. If I come across anything else that seems relevant I'll point you to it.
Vb script might be a good solution for windows to download the libraries for compilation. It seems to be supported by modern windows versions (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8925908/how-to-start-a-vbs-script-in-windows-7-task-scheduler-with-messagebox) and allows for downloading files via url (http://serverfault.com/questions/29707/download-file-from-vbscript)
