Opus support

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Are there any plans to add opus support to squeezelite?

Opus is a relatively new open source audio codec with impressive performance, 
see http://www.opus-codec.org/
Opus is usually wrapped in an ogg stream, a bit like vorbis.

I could volunteer to add opus support to squeezelite, I have some experience 
making it work on Rockbox (an open-source alternative firmware for mp3 players).

No plans at present, but happy to discuss.

I would expect this to need LMS support first - do you have any example files?

I'm a bit intimidated by LMS, being written mostly in perl.
My plan was to stream opus audio from http://smj.delfa.net
As I understand, LMS is bypassed for some web streams, making the client 
directly fetch the stream. I was hoping to use that mechanism to debug.
I can easily transcode a file to .opus if needed.

Afraid it will need LMS support as this is responsible for selecting the codec 
to use - squeezelite doesn't detect the codec itself, it relies on lms.
