Compiling Mpeg 4 Structured Audio into C
نویسندگان
چکیده
Structured Audio (SA) is an MPEG 4 Audio standard for algorithmic sound encoding, using the programming language SAOL. The paper describes a SA decoder, sfront, that translates a SAOL program into a C program, which is then compiled and executed to create audio. Performance data shows a 7.6x to 20.4x speedup compared to the SA reference MPEG decoder.

The MPEG-4 Structured Audio standard
The MPEG-4 standard defines numerous tools that represent the state-of-the-art in representation, transmission, and decoding of multimedia data. Among these is a new type of audio standard, termed “Structured Audio”. The MPEG-4 standard for structured audio allows for the efficient, flexible description of synthetic music and sound effects, and the use of synthetic sound in synchronization with...
متن کاملAn efficient block-based interpreter for MPEG-4 structured audio
The MPEG-4 Audio standard provides a toolset for Audio synthesis and Audio processing, i.e. Structured Audio (SA). SA permits to describe algorithms through its Structured Audio Orchestra Language (SAOL) programming language. Unlike some other languages of the same type, SAOL has a sample-by-sample execution structure, and this makes particularly important the overhead computation in case of an...
متن کاملSAOL: The MPEG-4 Structured Audio Orchestra Language
The MPEG-4 standard, which will be published in October 1998, contains extensive provisions for sound synthesis as well as traditional methods of audio compression. At the heart of MPEG-4 Structured Audio, the sound-synthesis framework, is a new music-synthesis language called SAOL. This language, based on the Music-N model, is specified and defined fully in the MPEG-4 International Standard; a...
متن کاملCross-Coding SDIF into MPEG-4 Structured Audio
We have created a link between the Sound Description Interchange Format (“SDIF”) and MPEG-4’s Structured Audio (“SA”) tools. We cross-code SDIF data into SA bitstreams, and write SA programs to synthesize this SDIF data. By making a link between these two powerful formats, both communities of users benefit: the SDIF community gets a fixed, standard synthesis platform that will soon be widesprea...
متن کاملGeneralized Audio Coding with Mpeg-4 Structured Audio
The MPEG-4 Structured Audio standard was created to enable high-quality, very-low-bitrate transmission of synthetic sound. However, structured-audio techniques also are suitable for flexible natural audio coding. This paper introduces the concept of generalized audio coding, in which the Structured Audio decoder is used to emulate the behavior of other audio decoders. We prove that the MPEG-4 S...
