[vorbis-dev] Vorbis on OS/2

[Nick Burch]

Following a few months of lurking on the list, and vainly trying to get vorbis to compile 
on os/2, I finally managed to get the nightly gzip from saturday to compile (fairly) 
cleanly, and so have finally been able to play with Vorbis on my OS of choice :)

Using the EMX runtime system, and bash for OS/2 (along with a few ported GNU apps), 
both configure and make work fine (except for ogg123 naturally). Oggenc seems to 
work, and I've sucessfully encoded a few files using lame 3.86 with ogg support, and 
played them back on a linux system.

When I came to have a go at playing them on os/2, I ran into some problems with the 
examples. EMX needs stdout (but not stdin) set to binary mode to work properly. Could 
someone with CVS access please add the following three lines below the WIN32 
binary fix in examples/vorbisfile_example.c examples/encoder_example.c 
examples/decoder_example.c

#ifdef __EMX__ /* OS/2 EMX System needs stdout set to binary */
      _fsetmode(stdout,"b");
#endif

With this in place, cat <ogg file> | vorbisfile_example > <wav file> followed by wavplay 
<wav file> works fine

I'll take a look at ogg123 and see about the posibilities of making it work on os/2 once 
I'm back at college in a few weeks. In the mean time, I'll put compiled versions of the 
examples and oggenc on my site (http://users.ox.ac.uk/~magd1113/mpeg/) with some 
alpha warnings so people can start playing with vorbis on os/2

Keep up the good work guys
