What i did was just take a look at other decoders, the general setup is
the same for all of them. And really not that hard, within a few hours
you should have a decoder framework in place. For more advanced tricks
find a decoder that does what you need and look at its source.

The source is the best tutorial there is, one of the good things of
OpenSource.
