[vorbis] libao and OS X

[dongoodman]

I tried sending this once, but it appears my school is having mail server 
issues.

I've been playing with libao on OS X; I wanted to check out the macosx 
plugin for it, see if I could bend it to my will. Given some utilities 
from the fink project (automake comes to mind) I was able to compile it 
just fine. But, there was a problem. It cannot load dynamic plugins!
The first reason I found is that libao expects plugins to have the 
extension ".so"; on OS X, dynamic libraries have the extension ".dylib"
Second problem, and one I cannot fix, dlopen() refuses to open the plugins.
  See
the call to dlopen() in _get_plugin() in audio_out.c, line 101 or 
thereabouts.

Any ideas what's going on? I have not the knowledge to deal with this.

Also, I'm not currently subscribed to vorbis-dev (though I am to vorbis), 
so if any replies could be cc'd: deg3 at msstate.edu, it would be much 
appreciated.

thanks in advance

have fun
