How to stream audio from Google Docs (API)? - audio

Is there a way to stream audio from Google Docs (API)? MP3, AAC, etc..
Thanks,
Sam

Short answer: No
Long answer: It's going to be very messy indeed. At best you're going to have to download the file and play it, streaming is going to be difficult as docs isn't designed for it. Have a read of http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Docs/thread?tid=1cd4f518b887618b&hl=en

Any Audio Player Framework for Swift?

Is here any audio Library or Framework to use with Swift 2.x. I am looking for something which can handle the Live Stream Buffering or latency. I am using AVAudio Player for Live stream but it is not an excellent choice. I don't know the objective c , so its hard for me to get reference to those docs.
Please suggest. Thanks in advance.
Here is the one of the best library which is purely written in swift.

However, you can still use AVPLayer. It's the one and the same thing.

Determining the quality of mp3 audio streams

I have built a source client using Portaudio and LAME which streams the microphone input to an Icecast server to be listened to online via the HTML5 tag. I have managed to (supposedly) get the quality of the stream to MP3 320kbps at 44.1kHz and am looking for a way to confirm this using tests and or benchmarks.
I have an indication that these stats are somewhat correct from looking at stream inspectors in software such as iTunes and VLC, but I am looking to get a more in-depth data set.
What I basically want is to be able to test how much of the original file is being lost over the stream and if or how much the quality changes depending on environmental conditions of the broadcaster or streamer.
Does anyone know of any tools, frameworks to get some hard numbers or representations of this data?
If VLC tells you the stream is 320kbit CBR, then it is.
It sounds like what you're looking for is a comparison of the actual audio content. This is highly subjective. MP3 is built to use features of how our hearing works to save bandwidth. For example, quiet sounds are masked by loud sounds. High frequencies are harder to hear and are simply rolled off.
You can compare the spectral analysis between the original PCM-sampled waveform and the MP3 decoded waveform, but this doesn't tell you how humans interpret that sound. For that, you would have to survey humans.

Get video stream from webcam in Linux

I'm looking for some general way to get video stream from webcam in Linux and then process and show it in a window. The second part seems simple, but I don't know how to deal with the first one.
Is there some API, lib, docs, etc?.. Where to start?
I've done a little of this before, and you're right, the second part is the easy part. You should take a look at this post for some of the commonly used libraries.
Video capture on Linux?
I would also throw OpenCV on that list, since it helps with both the obtaining and the processing of video streams:

Good luck!

Embed mp4 video in site

What is the best way to embed a mp4 video in a webpage? I tried quicktime but if the user doesn't have it it takes a really long time. YouTube is not an option at this point. Any other solutions?
Edit: is there any way to use a flash player without being a swf.
(I dont really know much about video embedding, but a tried googling a lot)
Thanks

FFMPEG and MP3. How decode

How to decode mp3 audio using ffmpeg (using the API)? If not complicated - example code?
PS I went to open the file, find the audio channels. then I do not understand what to do ...
It's nice to go all the way through the tutorials but this part of the tutorial deals with decoding audio (although I am currently having a problem with it as avcodec_decode_audio3() is the updated version of avcodec_decode_audio2()).
Hope it helps,
