[icecast-dev] Vorbis in Macromedia Flash (was Icecast in...)

[Macsym]

Hi everybody,
Here is a copy of an email I sent to Macromedia requesting ogg support in
Flash.
MAX

"Hi,

As a Flash, Dreamweaver, freehand. developer for years now, I would like to
suggest Macromedia a new feature in the next release of Flash. Importing an
mp3 file into Flash is possible since Flash MX but I think an important part
of Flash developers would appreciate if the .Ogg Vorbis format was
supported. "Ogg Vorbis is a completely open, patent-free, professional audio
encoding and streaming technology with all the benefits of Open Source."
(http://www.vorbis.com). It produces better results than mp3 in terms of
quality and compression. I don't have any financial interest in Vorbis, I am
just advising Macromedia about the "should be included" new features of
Flash.

Cheers,

Maxime"

Hi Jack,

It's a good idea. I am going to email macromedia to ask support for ogg in
Flash. Anyway, it is impossible it would be available before end of 2004
because the brand new Flash 2004 was just released.

I don't know if we've ever contacted them.  But I think we did back when
1.0 first got released.  I think people who use flash should mail
Macromedia and ask about support for it.
