-This is a prototype codec and for now it doesn't do anything useful. To get
-the celt and silk submodules, you need to do:
+This is a prototype codec and for now it has limited functionality.
-% git submodule init
-% git submodule update
+To build from a distribution tarball, you only need to do the following:
-Compiling is currently tricky. You first need to configure the CELT directory:
+% ./configure
+% make
-% cd celt
-% ./autogen.sh
-% ./configure --disable-shared
-% cd ..
+To build from the git repository, the following steps are necessary:
+
+1) Clone the repository:
-Then you can use the top-level Makefile by typing:
+% git clone git://git.opus-codec.org/opus.git
+% cd opus
+1) Compiling
+
+% ./autogen.sh
+% ./configure
% make
-If you're lucky, then everything works. Most likely there will be an error in
-one of the paths that are hardcoded into one of the makefiles. This should
-improve in the future.
+
+Once you have compiled the codec, there will be a test_opus executable in
+the src/ directory.
+
+Usage: ./test_opus [-e | -d] <application (0/1)> <sampling rate (Hz)> <channels
+(1/2)> <bits per second> [options] <input> <output>
+
+mode: 0 for VoIP, 1 for audio:
+options:
+-e : only runs the encoder (output the bit-stream)
+-d : only runs the decoder (reads the bit-stream as input)
+-cbr : enable constant bitrate; default: variable bitrate
+-cvbr : enable constrained variable bitrate;
+ default: unconstrained
+-bandwidth <NB|MB|WB|SWB|FB> : audio bandwidth (from narrowband to fullband);
+ default: sampling rate
+-framesize <2.5|5|10|20|40|60> : frame size in ms; default: 20
+-max_payload <bytes> : maximum payload size in bytes, default: 1024
+-complexity <comp> : complexity, 0 (lowest) ... 10 (highest); default: 10
+-inbandfec : enable SILK inband FEC
+-forcemono : force mono encoding, even for stereo input
+-dtx : enable SILK DTX
+-loss <perc> : simulate packet loss, in percent (0-100); default: 0
+
+input and output are 16-bit PCM files (machine endian)
