$1000 to create PCM/WAVE to OGG library for Android!

The opportunity...

My business partner and I are creating a project in Android that requires the ability to take a PCM or WAVE files and have them converted on the fly (background thread, think AsyncTask) to OGG.

After asking around for several weeks through people I know I have still yet to find someone that can, will do this project. So now I am publically offering this project/challenge to everyone.

If you are interested please contact me first via Private Message system here in the forums.

This project will pay $1000.00 (U.S. dollars) (minus PayPal fees).

What's involved:
  • 1. This project is for the Android operating system (e.g. Motorola Droid, HTC Incredible, Motorola Milestone, etc.)

    2. a library compatible with Android and Eclipse for Java

    3. the conversion has to take place on a background thread (perhaps even AsyncTask)

    4. in English (however, we will eventually need help with localization projects!)
These are the main points. The finer details will be discussed with the person who is chosen/accepts the project.

Payment will be through PayPal (so $1000 minus PayPal fees).

There is the possibility that other Android contract projects will become available as my business partner and I move forward. We are interested in having at least one other contract person we can go to with projects as they arise.

This is a time sensitive issue, where we want to have this completed within two to four weeks. So please do not delay if you are interested, PM me today.

Thanks,

How are you thinking the usage should be? Something like this?

Code: Select all

new OTFConvert().execute(input, output);

That seems about right.

Do you think this is a project you could, want to do GeoTrail?

Well, I have to do some research first. I don't want to promise anything if I can't come up with something.
I know that Android can decode PCM/WAVE format, and Ogg, but I'm going to see if I can find a way to encode Ogg. That's the only thing I'm not sure about right now.
