Mmmm, yes and no. If you take matroska we recently progressed at the speed of 
light because we wanted to have working code available. But that means we 
modified our coding "rules" to have something work fast. Leaving a lot of 
undone or unclean things behind. The kind of thing that would not be done 
otherwise. So for now it's cool, but in the long term it's not clean. (if you 
don't put \todo in the code like I do).

Otherwise for my work on MPC, you know that I really want to be involved in 
this project. In the other hand there is matroska which is *far* from finished 
(and might never be finished per se). So I can only spend some time here and 
there. My interrest, apart from getting all my CDs one day on a HD, is 
capturing sound with my TV card (that was also my main concern with matroska, 
only old MPEG would allow me to capture with a slow CPU and drop frames). MP3 
or Vorbis is too slow. So I see MPC as the best existing codec for that 
(lossless takes too much space)... So what I would like to see is capturing in 
VDubMod into matroska with MPC as the audio codec. Capture in matroska in 
VDubMod is not implemented yet, so that's what I'm waiting for. From then I 
will need a library that takes PCM in input and output SV8 frames. And I want 
to work on this... On the other side, we need a library that takes SV8 frames 
and output PCM data. I would probably make a simple DirectShow filter based on 
that.

What about Frank ? Well I need a simple documentation about SV8 that could we 
could discuss about (email ? IRC ?). Don't expect me to discuss "codec" details 
(I'm not good enough at that), I just need to know the bitstream, what is 
inside and why (we can discuss on this).
