Fun with Nelly2PCM

I'm currently on the bench with the consulting firm I work for. This leaves me with way too much time to explore fun technologies and even the occasional blog. During my travels, I came across a site that discussed a solution to Adobe's NellyMoser encoder nightmare that is imposed on anyone that wishes to transmit real-time microphone audio streams. If that didn't make sense just think softphone. The solution was a google code open source project called nelly2pcm. The irony and point of my post is that within 12 hours of the post, the nelly2pcm google code project received a DMCA cease and desist; effectively shutting it down.

In my infinite boredom I decided to port the nelly2pcm source to java. I have a twisted sense of fun so to me this sounds like a blast. The current nelly decoders at best use a command line native console app to convert .flv to ulaw and from there off to pcm. I figure hey... why not have the converter in 100% pure java?

I am of the opinion that voip/sip communication is going to be far more prevalent in websites and even in blogs. Let's see how long this port takes me before I get dragged into a mundane money-making venture...
