Lets look at this email:

    http://lists.xiph.org/pipermail/ogg-dev/2005-November/000145.html

where Zen quotes a email Arc sent him privately. Normally, I'm not keen
on private emails being made public, but in this case I think Zen was
100% justified.

Am I nuts or is Arc overstepping his authority here? Especially since
Zen has made significant contributions in the area of making Xiph code
work on win32.

If OggPCM gets implemented I am very keen on it being useful well 
beyond the use cases of one or two people. Its therefore important
that more than one or two people have input. If the more experienced
people at Xiph (Monty, Jean-Marc, Josh etc) are going to let Arc run 
the specification of OggPCM then outside input is likely to be 
ignored.
