Hi Eric,

Thanks for your information! Which codec's source code is
available in the
community? Only ra8lbr? How about sipro, does it also need
to request for
the dist lib and won't provide its source code?

There are also several other Real Audio formats, such as
raac: MPEG-4 LC-AAC (RealAudio 9) 
racp: MPEG-4 HE-AAC (RealAudio 10) 
ralf: RealAudio Lossless Format (RealAudio 10)

I can't find, even the libraries, these decoders in the
project, will it NOT
be supported in the helix project?

BTW, we are developing an internet radio product and don't
support the
video. For your experience, are ra8hbr and sipro very
popular? How many
percentage of real servers can support ra8lbr streaming?

Thanks & Best Regards,
Xiong Feng

These functions are part of the RealAudio 8 High Bitrate
codec. The source for this codec is not released into the 
community, as we do not have rights to redistribute this
source. So the codec is distributed as a binary library
in datatype_dist/rm/audio/codec/ra8hbr which the
source in datatype/rm/audio/codec/ra8hbr then links
against.

When porting to a new platform, it is likely that the
distribution library for ra8hbr for your platform does
not exist yet. So that is why you are getting linking
errors.

Long term if you need this codec, then you will have
to provide RN with the appropriate tool chain so that
we can build the dist libs on your platform. There is
some cost involved however.

Short-term you can eliminate this error by simply
removing the HELIX_FEATURE_AUDIO_CODEC_TOKYO from
your profile.

Source code for the fixed-point AAC decoder is
available in the public source at
datatype/aac/codec/fixpt/decoder.

Source code for the ra8lbr codec is available 
once the "Real Format Source Code Porting and
Optimization License"
is executed. See here:

https://h
elixcommunity.org/licenses/request

for more detail.

Other codecs (sipro, RealAudio 8 High BitRate, RealAudio
Lossless) are
available in binary distribution library form. If the dist
lib
is not currently available for your platform, it can be
compiled
in-house and the dist lib placed in the distribution
project.
There is a cost associated with this service, although I
don't know the details.

As far as servers go, Helix servers can serve any kind of
RealAudio codec. I would guess that most Internet radio
applications
use ra8lbr for music or sipro for voice.
