Aften is a simple, open-source, A/52 (AC-3) audio encoder Aften is an open-source and very simple A/52 (AC-3) audio encoder.
The name, Aften, is an acronym for: A / Fifty-Two ENcoder
It is also Danish and Norwegian for 'evening'.
Aften started as a simple cutting-out of the
ac3 encoder from FFmpeg, but then I reworked the structure of the encoder a bit. Most of the basic code is still the same though.
