title: Audio (MP3) codecs for embedded application
body: <p>I'm looking for a software based codec library to be used in embedded application (C/C++). I'm interested in both commercial and free codec libraries. Any suggestion will be welcomed. </p>
  
  <p>In addition, if you have any experience with <a href="http://www.khronos.org/opensles/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">OpenSL ES</a> and know which software/hardware solutions are compatible, I would be glad to hear about it. </p>
  
  <p>I need to support popular codecs. MP3 is a must. I'm implementing a media player reference for an embedded application and can't just tell the user: "Hey convert all your music library to Vorbis; it's much better." Support for the MP3 codec mandatory, but I would be glad to find a more advanced library handling more codecs (more audio codecs, video codecs, etc.) </p>
