Howdah...

I am working on adding configuration and comment editing to the 
OggVorbis Winamp plugin.

However I have currently banged my head against one major 
problem. How the h... do you update an .ogg with the new 
comments. Do I use the source in vorbiscomment (which doesn't 
work with any .ogg I've tested) - or is there a better alternative?

A function for simply updating an ogg with new comments would be 
*really* appreciated, but as long as anyone can point me in the 
right direction, I think I could figure it out.

I have added a configuration dialog (currently sets name format 
string and thread priority - both of which are implemented).

As for the comment dialog I have created, I am not sure if this is 
the Right Thing. Here's what my implementation does:
It creates a listbox-like window with the primary entries at the top 
(artist, title, etc.) - empty if they are not present in the .ogg.
Entries appearing several times in the .ogg are displayed under 
each other, like this:
Artist	John Doe
                Jane Doe
                Jonathan Doe
etc. - and are added simply by hitting enter when at the entry.

In addition, it allows the user to add custom entries after the 
standard entries.

Based on the documentation, the standard entries I have are 
currently (as far as I remember):

artist
title
album
tracknumber
year
composer
vendor
location
comment
lyrics (which the info displayer doesn't display at the moment)

Any others I should add as standard? And to the format string? 
(Currently similar to the one in Winamp 2.666 and 2.7)
