I really prefer if we have an open source solution available to
everybody for the SBC conformance testing. If sbctester.c is not good
enough than we have to write one. I also don't mind using the reference
encoder/decoder and the reference files. Using wine is not optimal, but
I don't really mind it.

Another question that I have is how you use the sbc_enc_test_01.wav and
sbc_enc_test_02.wav files with Windows reference encoder? It turns into
a busy loop for me.
