[vorbis-dev] access violation in ov_open using VC6

[Ryan Ashley]

That's the problem, Mike.  You see VC++ stuff is 100% proprietary, and a
good portion of us don't use VC++ for work.  You should make some generic
libraries for Win32 instead.  Use something standard like gcc/g++ or
Borland, or even Watcom.  Then the worst thing people have to worry about
are the makefiles, which can be cake to change between compilers.  Going
through tons of Vorbis source to recompile just so Vorbis works is a pain
though.

Albert, a guy on the regular Vorbis list made a static compile of a few
Vorbis files and that makes ov_open() work fine.  His handle on this list is
'Programmer Ted'.  The default ov_open will NOT work unless you run VC++ and
then somehow force it to link.  I don't use VC++ so I am not sure how.
