This is actually rather amusing. I have known a number of people in the
Xiph community for a number of years. These people all consider you an 
idiot that they'd prefer to ignore but sometimes actually have to work 
with.

Fortunately I can dop off this list in an instance and never have to deal 
with you again. However, I think you're funny so I'm just going to lurk
and have a quiet laugh at every post you make.

The rest of xiph maybe. You don't.

I look forward to seeing it. I always like a laugh.

I am at least partially aware of my own ignorance. You seem to be blissfully
unaware of either the depth or the breadth of yours. Your combining of
arrogance and stubbornness with your ignorance is truely stunning.

The only place you have compromised so far is when you have been so wrong
that it was embarrassing how wrong you actually were.

Please go away and implement your OggPCM so that someone with a clue will
see what a hash you've made of it and decide to re-design and reimplement
the whole thing.
