v1.3.7
BSD-3-Clause
Shared library implementing the Vorbis audio codec for lossy compression and playback.
Why you might care
libvorbis is a build/runtime dependency for audio applications that need to encode or decode Ogg Vorbis files. It's a mature, royalty-free codec widely supported in media players, game engines, and streaming software. Most users install it transitively; you only need it directly if you're developing audio software that handles Vorbis streams.
