[vlc-devel] HRTF renderer supporting the SOFA format

[Christian Hoene]

Hi,

one year ago, Wolfgang Hrauda has written a plugin for SOFA HRTF formats
http://iem.kug.ac.at/fileadmin/media/iem/projects/2014/hrauda.pdf

I have updated it to be include in the latest master
https://github.com/choene/vlc/commit/d46ed41475698b923e72429662a5ff568f0f20e0

Next, I will add head tracking to it.  What is the right way to include it? 
1) Add a module to https://github.com/choene/vlc/tree/master/modules/control
2) Link that module by sofalizer and update the HRTF filters according to the
head movements

Question 1:  What kind of head tracking are you considering for the 360 videos?

Question 2: How to reduce the playout latency of VLC? Head tracking will require
that the audio output changes immediately...

Thanks for your help,

 Christian
