+ <div class="faq-A">
+ <p>A (Mac OS X) framework is a conveniently packaged software library. Xiph frameworks is a set of Xiph libraries containing the actual
+ coding/decoding functionality used by XiphQT.</p>
+ <p>Yes, the Xiph frameworks need to be installed on your system but no, you no longer need to worry about installing them manually.
+ Starting with XiphQT version 0.1.2 the installation package for OS X contains the necessary frameworks' files and will be able

+ </div>
+ <div class="faq-A">
+ <p>If an application, e.g. QuickTime Player, can open an .ogg file without errors but then simply produces just silence you may need
+ to restart your computer.</p>
+ <p>Some of the XiphQT components are implemented as system components and not QuickTime components. While "Tiger" seems to be able
+ to detect those components automatically - "Panther", apparently, can only detect those newly installed components only on system
+ start.</p>

+ <div class="faq-Q">
+ <p>Track names (numbers, dates, ...) of .ogg files are missing, or displayed incorrectly, in iTunes - can you fix it?</p>
+ </div>
+ <div class="faq-A">
+ <p>Having the ability to play Ogg Vorbis files in iTunes was one of the main driving forces behind the
+ <a href="http://qtcomponents.sf.net">qtcomponents</a> project and also behind XiphQT development. However, iTunes is a proprietary
+ software which does not provide a way to expand directly it's audio formats handling functionality by third-party developers. Given
+ the iTunes support for QuickTime formats and architecture, writing a QuickTime extension (a <em>component</em>) has an effect of
+ indirectly extending iTunes functionality. Unfortunately, iTunes support for QuickTime formats and extension mechanisms seems to
+ be very selective - it is not even clear what exactly is supported as there is no single page of documentation about it.</p>
+ <p>Having said that, the XiphQT development efforts go into ensuring compatibility with QuickTime architecture and as complete
+ (and proper) support for QuickTime extension mechanisms as possible. But the way applications, such as iTunes, choose to use,
+ or not to use, QuickTime architecture is beyond our control.</p>
+ <p>Regarding the .ogg files meta-data missing in iTunes - to my knowledge, there is no way to fix this from the XiphQT source code
+ point of view. However, there exist some AppleScript scripts that can help you with track's meta-data in iTunes (for example, see
+ <a href="http://trac.xiph.org/ticket/759">this ticket</a> or
+ <a href="http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1361353&forum_id=135636">this thread</a>).</p>
+ <p>By the way, if you are curious or sceptical about the above paragraphs - here is a simple practical experiment:</p>
+ <ol>
+ <li>Find a .mov files with some meta-data (try, for example, the official Apple movie trailer page);</li>
+ <li>Make sure you have the whole file on your hard drive;</li>
+ <li>Import the file into iTunes;</li>
+ <li>Check the file's info dialog.</li>
+ </ol>
+ <p>Did you get all the meta-data imported correctly? Or - does the file behave exactly like the other formats (mp3, m4a), in all
+ aspects?</p>
+ </div>
+ <a name="faq_itunes_int" id="faq_itunes_int"></a>
+ <div class="faq-Q">
+ <p>Equaliser/visualisation/crossfade doesn't work in iTunes with .ogg files - how come?</p>
+ </div>
+ <div class="faq-A">
+ <p>In short? No idea, honestly! This is how iTunes treats all the "foreign" file formats, XiphQT-supported amongst them, in its
+ mysterious internals.</p>
+ <p>Please see <a href="#faq_itunes_metadata">the first question in this section</a> for a longer explanation.</p>
+ </div>
+ <a name="faq_itunes_air" id="faq_itunes_air"></a>
+ <div class="faq-Q">
+ <p>iTunes doesn't use airTunes speakers when playing .ogg files - is XiphQT's audio output device
+ fixed to the main audio output only?</p>
+ </div>
+ <div class="faq-A">
+ <p>XiphQT doesn't even come near any audio output device. Basically all it does is it gets a handful of compressed audio data bits
+ and decompresses them, when asked to do so, returning a (slightly bigger) handful of decompressed, raw audio sample bits to whomever
+ asked XiphQT to perform that decompression task.</p>
+ <p>For some reason iTunes doesn't treat all the audio compression formats equally. Please see
+ <a href="#faq_itunes_metadata">the first question in this section</a> for a longer explanation.</p>
+ </div>
+ <a name="faq_itunes_stream" id="faq_itunes_stream"></a>
+ <div class="faq-Q">
+ <p>Does XiphQT allow one to listen to ogg network streams in iTunes?</p>
+ </div>
+ <div class="faq-A">
+ <p>Not as such. While XiphQT support for network ogg streams has lately (v.0.1.3) improved significantly (and you can try it in QuickTime Player),
+ iTunes has its own routines for working with network audio streams and broadcasts. However, those routines see every network stream
+ as an 'MPEG audio stream'. Obviously, this can not work with streams which are not MPEG audio streams. Such as ogg streams, for example.</p>

<h2>Release notes.</h2>
<div>
+ <h3>version 0.1.3 (17.12.2005)</h3>
+ <div>
+ <p>Big changes and changes a bit smaller:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li><strong>win32 port</strong> - now XiphQT should work on all the Windows flavours on which you can get
+ QuickTime 7 to work;</li>
+ <li><strong>progressive downloading</strong> - ogg files can now be opened directly from a network location,
+ using e.g. 'http://' URLs; as a side-effect most of the "live" ogg streams can now be treated
+ as remote files (of undefined size) and listened to directly in e.g. QuickTime Player;</li>
+ <li><strong>web browser integration</strong> - QuickTime plugin MIME preferences now should include options for
+ Vorbis and Speex files, allowing you to have these formats handled by QT plugin directly in a
+ browser window (note: some browsers, like <a href="http://www.caminobrowser.org">Camino</a> or
+ <a href="http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/">FireFox</a> on Mac OS X, won't automatically update
+ their lists of mime types handled by browser plugins - you will need to do it manually);</li>
+ <li><strong>Vorbis comments</strong> - XiphQT now supports all the tags mentioned in the
+ <a href="http://www.xiph.org/vorbis/doc/v-comment.html">Vorbis documentation</a>;</li>
+ <li><strong>multi-stream ogg files</strong> importing significantly improved.</li>

<h3>version 0.1.2 <em>"framed work"</em> (28.11.2005)</h3>
