[Vorbis-dev] Lyrics

[ogg.k.ogg.k at googlemail.com]

Hi,

I'd thought of adding lyrics support to oggenc a while ago, and on
sunday I had a go
and it seems to work just fine. A long shot, but would you be
interested in a patch to
do this ? It reads a .srt file (though I'll change it to read .lrc
files, I've just found those
on the internet, mostly the same data but they're used for lyrics
apparently) and creates
a Kate stream muxed with the Vorbis stream.
You obviously don't get a Vorbis I stream though (-> oga).

Also, there is no software that reads those yet :)
I've looked at a couple players (XMMS, mp3blaster) and they both use
libvorbisfile,
so I shied away from patching them as I'd break something changing
them to use both
libogg and libvorbis directly...

Aaaaanyway, it's nifty, and will please those who want lyrics in their
files, but not too
useful just right now till some players pipe out the text (which is
trivial to do if you're
already using libogg/libvorbis).

I can send the patch if anyone is curious, though it's still
proof-of-concept (cleaned
up, but not using the right input format yet).

Cheers
