I'm fixing and adding things on a heavy schedule for the next
four weeks. I'm hopeful to take 'saolc' from 85% complete/
compliant and 75% bug-free, which it is now, to more like
98% complete/compliant and 90% bug-free in this time. I wasn't
planning to release anything until about the second week of
March.
Do any of these bugs prevent you from working (ie, crashes with
no apparent workarounds), or are they mostly annoying? If
you have a showstopper, I'll fix it and release a patch ASAP.

All the source code for doing this is in the public source code
release. Do 'make sa_encoder' in Unix or use the following
files in a win32 project:
sa_encode.cpp sa_encode.yy.c saol_tok_table.cpp bitstream.cpp
aifif.c saol_score.c byteswap.c IEEE80.c
Then the usage looks like this:
> sa_encoder foo.mp4
Chunk types: 1=SAOL 2=SASL 3=sample 4=MIDI 5=SASBF (0=done)
Type, name: 1 claps.saol
Incorporate sound file 'clap.aiff'? y
Read 2804 samples->
Chunk types: 1=SAOL 2=SASL 3=sample 4=MIDI 5=SASBF (0=done)
Type, name: 2 claps.sasl
Chunk types: 1=SAOL 2=SASL 3=sample 4=MIDI 5=SASBF (0=done)
Type, name: 0
Include sa_symbol table? n
For each 'chunk', you give a type and a filename. If you
include the symbol table, the bitstream is slightly larger,
and the decoded orchestra looks more like the original. If
not, the bitstream is slightly smaller, and all the names of
variables and instruments are gone from the orchestra.
