Well, I've slaved and toiled for two days straight, gone almost without
sleep,
and nearly had my brain explode, and what do I have to show for it? The new
version of the Python (http://www.python.org/) module for reading and
_writing_ Ogg Vorbis files!
What is it?
-----------
It is a Python (http://www.python.org/) module that emulates the native wave
and sunau interface for Ogg Vorbis encoded files.
Where can I get it?
-------------------
http://ignacio.openservices.net/devel/vorbis-0.0b.tar.bz2
What do I need for it?
----------------------
You need a version of Python greater than or equal to 1.5.2 from
http://www.python.org/download/.
What's new in it?
-----------------
- Latin-1 characters in comment values are now decoded
- Now able to _write_ Ogg Vorbis files with bit-widths of 8, 16 or even _24_
bits!
- Even easier configuration for installation
What's still wrong with it?
---------------------------
- The last little bit (about 3000 samples) of a song is cut off when
encoding (Boo! Hiss!)
- No Unicode support for Python 2.x yet for comment values
- Still only tested under Linux (testers for other OSes, please come
forward!)
Who wrote it?
-------------
Why, me of course!

Hello All,
Quick question here... I've been playing with the last few releases (and
am very much impressed, of course!) and have encoded a number of files.
Yet, I wonder if there is a way for me to check some information about
how the file was encoded. Specifically, I'd like to know:
- app that encoded it (probably oggenc for now, but what if XYZ
inc's encoder is notoriously lousy?)
- library release version (Right now, I can't quite tell which file
was made with Beta 4, etc..)
- stereo coupling options? (this must be there somewhere, but
explicitly?)
I am guessing some (or all) of these parameters might be buried
somewhere in the files, just not visible with ogginfo. Some sort of
reliable encoder signature containing this information would be very
useful for tracking poor quality, etc, that happened at the encode level.
Thanks!
Mike
