IceS0 links against LAME. I know that Xiph doesn't ship binaries of it, and we don't mirror LAME, and well... it's sticky. IMHO, we should mark ices0 as being "obsolete" for the "very few" people who still need to stream MP3 for "specific applications". Really, I think we need to promote the fact that Ogg has become widely adopted at this point, to the degree that MP3 streaming simply wastes bandwidth, and that MP3 isn't accessable everywhere because of patent issues (ie, Redhat). --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to '[email protected]' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.
