Re: deadlock issues in cvs head

vorbis lmc is broken at the core.  It WILL not work nicely with the rest 
of zinf.   I can get deadlocks to the point where you have to really 
really try but it still occurs but only when doing vorbis files.  It's 
perfect for wavs and mp3s.  So i'm looking at mplayer's vorbis decoder 
which is the simplest decoder i've found that doesn't use callbacks to 
decode. I'm thinking it'll be easier to just modify the xinglmc than use 
the vorbislmc since the vorbislmc is missing functions found in the xing 
lmc and the new vorbis decoder will function more like the xing lmc than 
the vorbis one anyway.
