yes, that's correct -- which is why the annodex bitstream and cmml are
two different things.

Annodex provides the meta-headers to allows reassembly of fragments and
easy proxying etc., and can be used with any Ogg streams. libannodex
provides importers for vorbis/speex/theora, pcm sndfiles, cmml and
also annodex files, and can merge any number of these together with
correct synchronisation.

CMML is an html-like markup designed for hyperlinking and annotation in
media files. Its usage within Annodex is streamable (anchor tags are
self-contained state changes, not open/close pairs). Outside of Annodex
it's a useful authoring language, and interoperates well with other
publishing and media management stuff.

both libraries (libcmml, libannodex) are available under the same terms
as all the ogg stuff (the same BSD-like license) with full specs at
www.annodex.net :)

Conrad.
