Sure, Florian Bruckner <h9651030 at miraculix.wu-wien.ac.at> and I
<dimitry at andric.com> have already started building a ACM codec. It is
far from finished, however, only the framework is in place. No
decoding or encoding is done at the moment, we're still figuring out
how to do that. :) Reading the libvorbis docs will surely help, but
I'm a little short on time at the moment...

Also, I have no experience with DirectShow filters, but this would be
a good thing to make. If you have any knowledge of this, you might
want to start a project for it. As far as I know, there hasn't been
such a project set up by anyone. Anyone?

The current source for the ACM codec has been put at SourceForge, you
should be be able to check it out anonymously with

cvs -z3
- -d:pserver:anonymous at cvs.vorbisACM.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/vorbisACM
co oggACM

There's also a web page, but there's not much to see there. If you
have any comments or suggestions for the ACM codec, please mail them
to <vorbisacm-developer at lists.sourceforge.net>. If you mail either
Florian or me privately, it won't be archived in a central place...

Cheers,
