+I put the installers back in the packages. Just makes it easier for people who aren't computer savvy. Also theora now plays in WMP9 and 10 (but still can't seek in these two players).
+Also fixed a bug in the speex encoder that made a mess of theora+speex files. Fixed a few more memory leaks.<br>

+ <li>Fixed some bugs in speex encoder. Can now make proper speex+theora files</li>
+ <li>Theora playback works in WMP 9 and 10 now... but no seeking in these two players</li>
+ <li>Fixed a muxing problem with large packets.</li>
+ <li>Increased some of the buffer sizes. Trying to encode very high quality theora was crashing as the buffer was too small</li>
<br>
<br>
<b><u>Known issues.</u></b><br>
+ <li>Make the installer properly detect if it's already installed. If you don't uninstall the old version you will get multiple identical file masks in WMP</li>
+ <li>Theora won't seek in WMP 9 or 10</li>
<li>If you are getting codec problems, there appears to be a conflict with something in Media Player Classic... it tries to enforce the use of another ogg demultiplexer, either by design or accident.If you see in MPC it complaining about a media subtype with a
GUID {CDDCA2D5-6D75-4F98-840E-737BEDD5C63B}. This is the guid of the old tobias vorbis filter, and this one {8D2FD10B-5841-4a6b-8905-588FEC1ADED9} is CoreVorbis. This is most likely due to the fact that these filters don't clean up the registry when they uninstall.
I am working on something to "clean up" all these remnants from the registry.</li>
<li>Cannot handle any chained multiplexed files or streams</li>
- <li>Muxer creates broken files when packets are very large (usually high quality theora)</li>
<li>FLAC seems to lose the first 1/2 second of audio if you stop then play again</li>
<li>Seeking is slightly less responsive in this latest version. Most noticable in speex.</li>
<li>Seeking very close to the end of speex or vorbis files, causes all audio to cease, requiring stop/play to resolve. Particularly noticable in small files, seems roughly 5 secs from end where this occurs.</li>

<li>When transcoding theora, if a media decoder (WMV usually) doesn't advertise its framerate, output may be time distorted</li>
