NAME
       roar_str2codec - Get codec ID by codec name

       roar_codec2str - Get codec name by ID

SYNOPSIS
	#include <roaraudio.h>

	int    roar_str2codec (char * codec);
	char * roar_codec2str (int    codec);

DESCRIPTION
       roar_str2codec converts a string to a RoarAudio Codec ID. It also supports some common aliases.	roar_codec2str is the reverse operation of
       roar_str2codec: It get's a name by the ID given.  If a codec is valid the following should be true:
	roar_str2codec(roar_codec2str(codec)) == codec

       Note that because of aliasing and case insensitivity the revers operation needs not to be true.

THREAD SAFETY
       Because roar_codec2str returns a static unique pointer for each codec it is fully thread safe.

RETURN VALUE
       On success roar_str2codec returns a codec ID.  On error, -1 is returned.  roar_codec2str returns the name of the codec or  NULL	on  error.
       You must not free this pointer or write to it.
