I don't know anything about programming, but you should really help
this guy. Robert didn't tell what program he wanted to use vorbis in,
but based on his e-mail address he's working for a company called
Moonbyte, which is making a game called Crashday. If he wants to use
vorbis in this game then we could increase vorbis's fame by helping to
release yet another game using vorbis. They might even be willing to
include a logo like nVidia's in UT2003 or Tron 2.0 if we ask them to.
If we don't help, they might even turn to help to our arch enemy: AAC.
I hope I've drawn some attention to this matter.
