[vorbis-dev] float to PCM packing in libvorbisfile

[John Morton]

Is there any particular reason why ov_read() packs floats to integer PCM 
inline, rather than being implemented in terms of ov_read_float() and a 
separate packing fucntion? 

There are obviously many advantages doing audio manipulation on the floats 
before packing, but right now you have to reinvent the packing stage yourself 
- in a replaygain backend that I'm working on, I ended up copying the packing 
code from ov_read verbatim. Would a patch that split the packing out to a 
separate function be considered for inclusion in a future libvorbis release?
