C and C++ versions of the codec available

[tobybear]

In case anyone is interested in conversions of the SEA codec to C and C++, I made my attempts available in my fork here (in the c_cpp subfolder): https://github.com/tobybear/sea-codec

Both conversions are compatible with the Rust implementations and support CBR and VBR for both encoder and decoder. I haven't tested them extensively, but the outputs of the C and C++ encoder are identical and can be decoded again with the Rust or WASM parts and vice-versa.
I also provide a test program for both C and C++ that converts between .wav and .sea.

To ensure maximum compatibility:
The C sources should be compatible with C89, so quite archaic.
The C++ sources work with C++11 or higher, also rather old. :)

Thanks a lot for sharing this!
Having C89-compatible C and C++11 versions is especially nice for maximum portability. This kind of work is very valuable for people who want to experiment with SEA outside of Rust/WASM.
We haven’t reviewed or tested this yet, but it’s great to see independent implementations emerging.

@tobybear
I’d be happy to add a link from the SEA codec README to your C/C++ implementation, if you’re open to putting the code into a dedicated repository (separate from the fork). That would make it easier to reference and discover as an independent implementation.

Let me know what you think, and thanks again for contributing this!

[tobybear]

Sure, I'll make a separate repo soon and let you know

@Daninet : I have now created a new repo, put my sources in there (also under MIT license) and referenced your original work and repo:
https://github.com/tobybear/sea-codec-c

If you want anything added/changed, please just let me know.

@tobybear Thank you very much! I added a link to your repo to the Readme.
Have a nice day!
