About:
Libopusenc is a high-level, easy-to-use C library for encoding raw audio streams into the Opus format. It simplifies the process of creating .opus container files by handling Ogg encapsulation and metadata automatically. This allows developers to integrate high-quality audio encoding into their applications without managing low-level codec details.
Key Features:
  • High-level C API for easy integration
  • Automatic Ogg container encapsulation
  • Support for metadata and header writing
  • Lightweight and portable
Use Cases:
  • Building audio recording applications
  • Creating tools for music or podcast encoding
  • Integrating real-time voice chat features
Alternatives:
  • ffmpeg – A complete multimedia framework that can encode Opus but is much larger and more complex than libopusenc.
  • libopus (raw) – The low-level codec library; using it directly requires manual Ogg muxing and packet handling, which libopusenc simplifies.
