[vorbis] Re: [vorbis-dev] Audio Section - Game Programming Gems 3

[Per Wigren]

Just out of curiosity, did any of you developers take this challenge? It 
could be one of the most important thing so far in Vorbis history! The Game 
Programming Gems series is VERY popular among game programmers (I know a few 
of them)! This is a really good chance to push Ogg Vorbis and break some new 
ground!!

> About the book series:
>
> The Game Programming Gems books are for professional and aspiring game
> developers.  It is designed to be your first resource when you're working
> on a challenging new programming problem. As PCs, game consoles, and
> graphics and audio chips become faster and more capable, the pressure on
> game developers to create new and interesting gaming experiences increases:
> timelines shorten, team sizes grow, and the content benchmark elevates.
> Despite these pressures, game programmers often find themselves isolated
> and reinventing the wheel. The Game Programming Gems series is designed to
> relieve these pressures by providing practical techniques that can be used
> to solve multiple problems.
>
> The CD-ROM that comes with each book in the series includes portable source
> code in C & C++. Most of the techniques will work in OpenGL and Linux.
> However, there are some techniques which will only work on Windows/Xbox/
> DirectX.
>
> About the first book:
>
> The book Game Programming Gems is all about sharing information among game
> programmers. It was designed in response to a perceived demand from the
> community, and it has been exceptionally well received. Gems was designed
> to be accessible to a wide variety of skill levels. Many of the gems were
> fairly long and some of them were designed to be introductory, which
> surprised many people. However, the book has done extremely well. The
> Artificial Intelligence section was particularly well received due to the
> way the section was organized-- fundamental algorithms were explained,
> optimizations were discussed, and then more esoteric algorithms were
> detailed toward the end of the section. One could readily read through the
> section and learn about many different techniques which could be used to
> solve similar problems.
>
> About the second book:
>
> Game Programming Gems 2 has fewer of the "tutorial-style" longer Gems that
> you found in Gems.  However, the continuity of each section has been much
> improved by having dedicated section editors.   This also gives each
> section more credibility, being designed and verified by an expert in the
> topic, someone who knows the issues that are important to developers
> specializing in that section's topic.  A new section was introduced for
> Gems 2: Audio.
>
> About the third book:
>
> Game Programming Gems 3 will be structured like Gems 2 with experienced
> section editors dedicated to ensure the consistency and quality of each
> section. A new section will be introduced with Gems 3: Network and
> Multiplayer Games. The advent of network-capable consoles and the
