# opus-rs
A pure-Rust implementation of the [Opus audio codec](https://opus-codec.org/) (RFC 6716), ported from the reference C implementation (libopus 1.6).
> **Status: Production-ready** — SILK-only, CELT-only, and Hybrid modes are functional. Stereo encoding (SILK and CELT) is supported.
## Features
- **Pure Rust** — no C dependencies, no unsafe code in the codec core
- **SILK encoder & decoder** — narrowband (8 kHz), mediumband (12 kHz), wideband (16 kHz)
- **CELT encoder & decoder** — fullband (48 kHz) with MDCT, PVQ, energy quantization
- **Hybrid mode** — SILK for low frequencies + CELT for high frequencies
- **Range coder** — entropy coding with ICDF tables and Laplace distribution
- **VAD** — voice activity detection
- **HP filter** — variable-cutoff high-pass filter for VOIP mode
- **CBR / VBR** — both constant and variable bitrate modes
- **LBRR** — in-band forward error correction
- **Resampler** — high-quality resampling (up2, up2_hq)
- **Stereo** — mid-side encoding for both SILK and CELT
## Quick Start
```rust
use opus_rs::{OpusEncoder, OpusDecoder, Application};
// Encode
let mut encoder = OpusEncoder::new(16000, 1, Application::Voip).unwrap();
encoder.bitrate_bps = 16000;
encoder.use_cbr = true;
let input = vec![0.0f32; 320]; // 20ms frame at 16kHz
let mut output = vec![0u8; 256];
let bytes = encoder.encode(&input, 320, &mut output).unwrap();
// Decode
let mut decoder = OpusDecoder::new(16000, 1).unwrap();
let mut pcm = vec![0.0f32; 320];
let samples = decoder.decode(&output[..bytes], 320, &mut pcm).unwrap();
```
## Testing
```bash
cargo test
```
All 181 tests pass, covering MDCT identity, PVQ consistency, SILK/CELT/Hybrid encode/decode roundtrip, resampler tests, and more.
### WAV Roundtrip
```bash
# Rust encoder/decoder
cargo run --example wav_test
# Compare with C libopus (requires opusic-sys)
cargo run --example wav_test_c
```
### Stereo Tests
```bash
cargo run --example stereo_test
```
## Performance
Run all benchmarks:
```bash
cargo bench
```
Run a specific benchmark:
```bash
cargo bench -- silk_pitch_analysis_core # Pitch analysis only
cargo bench -- silk_nsq # Noise shape quantizer
cargo bench -- silk_burg_modified_fix # LPC analysis
```
### SILK Encoder (Rust, complexity=0)
| 8 kHz | 20 ms | 13.2 µs | 23.1 MiB/s |
| 16 kHz | 20 ms | 24.2 µs | 25.2 MiB/s |
| 16 kHz | 10 ms | 13.8 µs | 22.1 MiB/s |
### CELT Encoder (Rust, 48 kHz)
| 20 ms | 91.9 µs | 19.9 MiB/s |
| 10 ms | 51.7 µs | 17.7 MiB/s |
| 5 ms | 29.9 µs | 15.3 MiB/s |
### SILK vs C Reference (encoder only, complexity=0)
| Rust (cx0) | 13.3 µs | 24.4 µs | 13.8 µs |
| C libopus (cx0) | 11.0 µs | 18.3 µs | 11.2 µs |
| C faster by | 1.21× | 1.33× | 1.23× |
Both use complexity=0 (fast mode). Rust fixed-point is ~20-30% slower than C floating-point.
### Full Opus Encoder + Decoder Roundtrip (complexity=0)
| 8kHz/20ms VoIP | 17.2 µs | 13.5 µs | 1.27× |
| 16kHz/20ms VoIP | 31.0 µs | 21.7 µs | 1.43× |
| 16kHz/10ms VoIP | 17.2 µs | 13.3 µs | 1.29× |
| 48kHz/20ms Audio | 159 µs | 42.8 µs | 3.72× |
| 48kHz/10ms Audio | 85.4 µs | 17.8 µs | 4.80× |
SILK (VoIP) is ~1.3–1.4× slower than C; CELT (Audio) is ~3.7–4.8× slower.
