Perhaps I overestimated; I haven't been nearly as deep into the code
as you probably have, but I did note a few of these functions and
suspected that there were others.

*gasp* Segher insulting Monty's code? Well it is kinda hard to read,
and people have been reporting crashes in that very function, so...

Thinking about it again it seems indeed much more logical; an encoder
typically won't need the decoder parts, and a decoder / player /
(hardware DSP player) won't need the encoding parts. If it's as little
of a waste of code as you make it out to be, so what?

Speaking of which, what's the current status on Vorbis hardware
players?
