[vorbis-dev] Clean separation of encode and decode?

I can probably work this out well enough, but if I wanted to submit my patches back to the maintainer are there any preferences on the symbol name?  I'd rather use #ifndef instead of #ifdef for obvious reasons -- everything will still work as before.

I don't think this is a good choice.  Because you'll end up with
libvorbis that can encode/decode and libvorbis that can only decode, and
it will end up causing confusion.  If we wanted to do this, we'd really
need to separate stuff into two libs.  libvorbisdec and libvorbisenc.

You mentioned platform issues being the impetus here...  any reason you
can't just use tremor instead of libvorbis?  Afaik, the API is the same,
and it is quite portable C IIRC.
