I don't remmber this.  Do you have a url to a message in the archive for
this?  Or was this only announced in IRC?

Afaict, Tobias only posted _once_ on any vorbis mailing list, and has
never responded to anyone's emails.

This is depressing.  That leaves us one half way decent closed source
set of filters, and one totally awful set of open source ones.  Both
abandoned.

Would any of you win32 nuts like to help fund an official set of
plugins?  I have some pointers on reliable people to do the work.
