Ick. Forgot that I was going to send you mine... I'll dig it up later (it's
on another drive) and try and get it sent sometime today). The
comment-rewriting stuff works fine (though it doesn't yet try to catch the
case where it can do things more efficiently), but the UI side of things
doesn't work tolerably.

I suggest you DON'T drop all support in vorbize - it's much more efficient
to write out the comment header initially rather than re-writing the entire
stream later. Of course, I'm not expecting complex support at all - just
basic stuff.

I think people are, but I'm not sure about any details.

Now, batching up replies to previous mails from you:
  decoder_example.c is based on libvorbis directly for two reasons:
decoder_example has existed for much longer than vorbisfile, and
decoder_example serves as the only real example for the decode-side APIs
(other than vorbisfile itself - but that's pretty complex).
  The winamp and xmms plugins are usable as examples of how to use
vorbisfile - it's trivially easy, really.

  And finally, I'll go and build a copy of vorbize for win32 in a bit.
It'll be at http://www.labyrinth.net.au/~msmith/vorbize.exe (but don't try
that for half an hour or so)
