I'm actually running in to the same issue regarding licensing issues for AC3 for the sci-fi game I am working on, https://www.avaneya.com If you look here under the Audio Hardware section, you'll find where we are on the issue: https://www.avaneya.com/faq.html#sysreq I think an option is to have it as a configure / compile time switch which is disabled by default, but let people who are in a locality that does not acknowledge software patents enable it if they wish. I'm also thinking he doesn't want to decode AC3 in software, but rather encode to AC3 on the fly and as S/PDIF pass though to an external decoder. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com _______________________________________________ Openal mailing list [email protected] http://opensource.creative.com/mailman/listinfo/openal
