LeMill should support wav files

[laszlo]

Most of the mobile devices support only wav encoding for record audio. For this reason, LeMill should support wav upload to support LeMill audio capture function.

[pjotr]

In that case we should add all kind of variants of WAV mimetypes to the MIMITYPE_WHITELIST.

I've found several variants: audio/wav, audio/x-wav, audio/x-ms-wav, audio/wave

Or some of the files might not be addable.

A bigger problem is that our embedded players and Flash players only work with mp3. This means we'll need a whole pipeline on the server to transcode whatever audio (and video) formats to the formats that we can display.

[laszlo]

In this case, the ticket has changed to "LeMill should support audio/video trenscoding".

[teemu]

Let's make LeMill to support wav.

[tarmo]

Does this mean that PILOTs should also accept wav format audio? Because our current flash player does not.

[hans]

We should support ONLY those media files that can be played inside web browser (that is in some Flash-based player). I haven't found a Flash player that supports other formats than mp3.

There is already a story about converting uploaded audio files (WAV, OGG, etc) to MP3. I think it might be possible with PyMedia: #1048

Should we close this ticket as a duplicate of #1048 ?

[laszlo]

I think yes, you can close it.

[tarmo]

Duplicate of #1158.

[hans]

Actually, it's duplicate of #1048
