Bug#370599: OpenCORE AMR library

[Andres Mejia]

Hello,

Thank you for the libamr libraries you provide. As you already know, there's an 
AMR implementation from PacketVideo that is part of the Android project (i.e. 
OpenCORE).

Martin Storsjö developed a wrapper around the AMR codecs from the OpenCORE 
framework, and supplied patches to the FFmpeg project so they can be used as a 
replacement for the libraries you developed. Those patches have been accepted 
into the FFmpeg source. The announcement is at [1].

Currently, I'm working on the opencore-amr library. Martin is not particularly 
interested in maintaining the opencore-amr library in the long run, so I've 
picked up the source from Martin and placed them in the git repository for the 
Debian multimedia team [2].

I would like this library to be a replacement for the current libamr libraries. 
However, the opencore framework is missing an amr-wb encoder. With this in mind, 
perhaps the SONAME for the opencore-amr libraries can be bumped and the old 
libamr-wb libraries can be broken up to have a libamrwb_encoder library. What is 
your opinion? Also, are you interesting in maintaining this library?
