OK then... I'll post it with my directory structure and you can merge as
necessary.  Whatever works works, the typedefs probably won't conflict
if you use different ones.

BTW, I think it may actually be the Vorbis library that's clipping
internally because it makes the clipping/scratching noise (and slows the
sound, oddly enough) even when I have the amplification from double down
from 32767 to about 16383 and lower.  I'll see if there's anything I can
do to fix that, but I'm afraid I'll get lost in the code.  :-)

Right.  Here's a link: <http://oscar.the-rileys.net/programming/vorbis.tar.gz>

The project file has the compiler merge the library into the output
program.  I did this because it allows the program to be completely
standalone, but it may be undesirable in terms of upgradeability.  I'm
not worried, especcially since this is preliminary.

The directory structure is the same as is in the source package, but
with tthe relative files only.  I have /vorbis/mac with the project file
and C files/headers, amd /vorbis/mac/compat with os_types.h (which, as
mentioned, may be unnecessary).  No changing of any existing files
should be necessary.

Thanks!
