Hi Christian,

I believe there is another misunderstanding here...

libfishsound is a wrapper around libvorbis and libspeex. So, when using 
conrad's libfishsound, libvorbis and libspeex are still required to 
allow encoding and decoding. Thus, your argument that illiminable's 
DirectShow filters are not building on Xiph software only holds true for 
libogg and thus the demuxer, but not actually for libfishsound and thus 
the vorbis/speex decoding. In my opinion, those should definately be of 
interest to be kept at Xiph.

Cheers,

Silvia.
