[vorbis-dev] Implementing looping audio

[OmegaDan]

I have been working on something similar for my own
(video game) projects ... Although I haven't worked on
it in almost 9 mos, i wrote a (DirectX) sound
effects/music unit that used the vorbis to store
sfx/music loops ... I found a wrapper to the vorbis
code, was much easier then modifying the code.  If you
modify vorbis directly -- you will have to modify it
every time there is a new release.
