[vorbis-dev] ACM codec

[Dan Miller]

I successfully contacted him, received source code, and got permission to post it on my site for a project we did -- www.on2.com/vpvision.  Please feel free to use that code off my site under the license terms, which I believe were GPL or LGPL.
 
Be warned however that Vorbis+ACM is a nasty combination right now, for various reasons that Monty can explain if he is so inclined.  In a nutshell, there isn't a good match between Vorbis in its present state and the ACM interface.  This project used six different ACM tags, I never got a clear understanding of the differences between them.

        hi
         
        Has anyone successfully contacted the author of this ogg ACM codec?
        http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA012897/
         
        I think he once posted here, but he doesn't seem to answer my emails. 
         
        Basically I want to have the FruityLoops app install his codec, so that we can compress the samples we provide with it. Benefits for us (of reading wav over ogg): sample loop points are preserved (in the wave file), & amazingly usually still work fine. Additionally it's no extra work :)
        So I wanted to know if it's fine with him, as his auto-translated message is a bit unclear.
         
        I always wanted to compress short samples in the past but MP3 was really poor for that, because of unwanted noise/silence before & after the sample itself.
        Vorbis compresses short & looped samples very well. I read in the archive someone wondering about the use in games, I must say it's perfect for games, unlike MP3.
