The major new feature in 1.0d3 is the addition of an importer and a sound decompressor. This means that MacOS X and Win32 users can play sounds. MacOS 9 users will need to wait a bit more (or help me with the project) as the sound decompressor has an additional requirement that it may not allocate memory while decompressing. Some work needs to be done on the vorbis libraries to meet this requirement. That work should provide a small performance improvement for other operating systems as well. The importer currently assumes that comments are ASCII not UTF-8, comments that are not will not display correctly. This will be fixed in a future release. The importer should handle chained files and muxed files properly. Chained files are imported as multiple tracks. The importer only picks out the Vorbis streams from a muxed file. The component is based on the RC2 vorbis release.
