[Flac-dev] flac ogg quicktime iTunes

[Dustin Byford]

Hello,

I'm going to start by asking something that has probably been asked 
before (although I didn't see it on the lists at sourceforge).  Is 
anyone working on getting iTunes to work with flac?

I'm bouncing around a few ideas and it seems like the logical approach 
would be to write a quicktime component using this project as a base 
http://qtcomponents.sourceforge.net

I see a post from Matt Field to a qtcomponents list on 2003-03-14 that 
says:

on windows?  If not what?

I wonder if they are off to a good start?

This also brings up another question, at what point (if any) does the 
integration between flac and ogg allow us to extend or generalize the 
ogg qt component to deal with vorbis and flac content instead of 
writing an independent flac qt component.

Thanks for any input.
