I'm sorry -- I wasn't very verbose :)

I meant to ask about the linking --

I am developing a sound system for a (commerical) videogame, which will use
vorbis / ogg unmodified.  Unfourtantley I can't release the source for the
sound system (not my choice) -- Does this mean I cannot statically link the
vorbis/ogg to my sound system dll and be in compliance with the LGPL ?

I've read a couple conflicting interpretations of the lgpl whch is why I
ask.
