[vorbis-dev] Ogg Vorbis 1.0d3 available

[Steve Nicolai]

The major new feature in 1.0d3 is the addition of an importer
and a sound decompressor.  This means that MacOS X and Win32
users can play sounds.

MacOS 9 users will need to wait a bit more (or help me with
the project) as the sound decompressor has an additional
requirement that it may not allocate memory while decompressing.
Some work needs to be done on the vorbis libraries to meet
this requirement.  That work should provide a small
performance improvement for other operating systems as well.

The importer currently assumes that comments are ASCII not
UTF-8, comments that are not will not display correctly.  This
will be fixed in a future release.

The importer should handle chained files and muxed files
properly.  Chained files are imported as multiple tracks.
The importer only picks out the Vorbis streams from a
muxed file.

The component is based on the RC2 vorbis release.

Happy New Year to all,
Steve
