Might be me...

Well. It wasn't easy, but I succeded in overcoming the difficulties.
I had to fill the information gaps in the spec with my common sense.
(It didn't work for the floor-0 stuff, anyway)

Wow, and i did'n look at the reference code once.
So, I'm really kinda proud. :-)

The specs aren't perfect, but with enough background knowledge about
other source coding techniques, it's possible to build a vorbis
decoder without the reference code.

@ John Diplay :
You didn't implement Floor-0 either, did you ?

<p>bye,
Sebastian
