Subject: [PATCH] Add getter functions for the interface data symbols

Having these symbols be available as functions rather than data is
occasionally more convenient. Implemented this way rather than a
get-codec-by-id style to avoid creating a link-time dependency
between the encoder and the decoder.

Fixes issue #169
