[FFmpeg-devel] Mentoring project: music test source

Hi.

No need to Cc people who are on the list.

In my mind, the purpose is to have a signal that can exercise filters
and codecs, trigger as many code paths as possible, without requiring an
external sample.

Therefore, it must "look like music" from the point of view of analysis
done by filters and codecs. And since some of the have quite subtle
psychoacoustic models tweaked for music, following music theory rules is
probably a requirement.

Sounding like real music seems much more difficult, and possibly not
that useful. But I think that if the code is clean, if somebody comes up
with a better algorithm to sound more catchy, it can be added in the
same filter as an option.

And, to answer Carl Eugen's question: No, I do not have a student lined
for this project.

Regards,
