Ooo, this is very serendipitous.  Now that final Vorbis 1.0 is near,
I'd been planning to start contacting people as I'd like the new
'Squish' (Or whatever it ends up being called) to be a collaboration.
I have a few novel ideas I've not yet tried, and I expect the Shorten,
LPAC and Monkey's Audio folks have quite a bit to add to this.

Will do.  Thanks for the tip.
