Well, I was able to compile the xmms plugin (I needed to add '#include
"gtk/gtk.h"' in-front of '#include "xmms/plugin.h"' to get it to compile),
but the plugin does not seams to work.
Either I just get a lot of noise or 'xmms' core-dumps when playing one of
the .ogg file from the vorbis website.

The 'cmdline' tools do not compile at all.

I've tried freeamp, but I get the same thing as using xmms: core-dump.

BTW. I was able to play the .ogg files (I would on the vorbius
website) using decoder_example, so this proves the are OK.

Decoder_example does burn over 25 % CPU (whereas mpg123 only use 6 %), but
I guess that is due to the fact that these tools are only 'examples' and
-hence- not optimised at all.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed. ;-)

In the meanwhile, I'll do some tests encoding on different bitrates and
keeping an eye on the streaming-possibilities.

Cheerio! Kr. Bonne.
