Again, sorry for the big delay!
Err wav? Wow.. you could end up with some MASSIVE sound files if you went with high quality data. Unless you used ADPCM wav data (still would be big just not AS big). Ogg probably would work too (hey it's Open Source LOL). Sorry I am a media encoder freak. I assume the data is likely something like 16bit LPCM 48khz mono then? (DVD default sound quality).
The wav files are just for better sound editing capabilities. The actual release is going to be MP3.
How do you consider that would be handled? a single Mix of voices or a polyiphony of voices?
A single mix would most likely be simpler.
Fice is still around? Well it is understandable he wants to work. I work too myself and sadly I am putting in 10 or more hours per day (that's just work). I would rather work on projects those extra couple hours.
Well this actually has changed.
ANNOUNCEMENT : There has been a change in coders for this project.
Unfortunately, we've been without news from Ficedula for a little while and our attempts to contact and locate him have unfortunately not yielded results so Dziugo has kindly accepted to take over this project from Ficedula in regards of the situation. If Ficedula does come back eventually, his help, I'm sure, would still be welcomed by Dziugo as few people here have the wealth of knowledge Ficedula has.
Dziugo had shown interest in this project from day 1 and is an awesome coder as is showcased by his awesome programs around the board so I'm sure he'll be able to help us deliver a great program in the end.
Welcome aboard Dziugo and thanks for the hand!
