Aften project is a simple, open-source, A/52 (AC-3) audio encoder.

Here are some key features of "Aften":
Implemented my own wav reader
Converted the fixed-point algorithms to floating-point
Rearranged the methods and structures
Added stereo rematrixing (mid/side)
Added short block MDCT and block switching
Added VBR encoding mode
Added variable bandwidth
Added more complete WAV format support
Added support for using the alternate bit stream syntax
Created separate library and frontend
Added input filters

What's New in This Release:
Bit allocation speedups, a compile-time choice of using floats or doubles internally, an internal restructuring of MDCT functions, and bugfixes. quality=0 is now a valid setting.
