Detailed Description

Functions to list and select the available decoders. Perhaps the most prominent feature of mpg123: You have several (optimized) decoders to choose from (on x86 and PPC (MacOS) systems, that is).

Function Documentation

const char** mpg123_decoders

(

void

)

Return a NULL-terminated array of generally available decoder names (plain 8bit ASCII).

const char** mpg123_supported_decoders

(

void

)

Return a NULL-terminated array of the decoders supported by the CPU (plain 8bit ASCII).

int mpg123_decoder	(	mpg123_handle *	mh,
		const char *	decoder_name
	)

Set the chosen decoder to 'decoder_name'

const char* mpg123_current_decoder

(

mpg123_handle *

mh

)

Get the currently active decoder engine name. The active decoder engine can vary depening on output constraints, mostly non-resampling, integer output is accelerated via 3DNow & Co. but for other modes a fallback engine kicks in. Note that this can return a decoder that is ony active in the hidden and not available as decoder choice from the outside.

Returns:

The decoder name or NULL on error.
