[2]Previous Issues of Ogg Traffic
1. Status Updates
1.1. Monty
Monty committed lots of libogg2 changes, and subjected the functions
for byte-aligned access to merciless unit tests, which they passed
with flying colors.
1.2. Stan Seibert
Stan's work on positron is moving along nicely. He is making good
progress on the part that parses the on-device database.
1.3. Michael Smith
Mike fixed a few small icecast bugs, and he found some time to work a
bit on the vorbis-tools. He fixed a small memory leak in oggdec and
patched ogginfo to return a status code that indicates the integrity
of the input stream.
1.4. Brendan Cully
Brendan added code to ices that attempts to trim junk and short
frames
from MP3 files to eliminate chirps that occasionally occurred between
songs. He also fixed mono to stereo reencoding in ices, and cleaned
up
the libshout code a bit.
1.5. Karl Heyes
Among some ices and libshout bugfixes, Karl committed lots of patches
to tweak the autotools build systems for ices and libshout.
1.6. Jean-Marc Valin
After a big round of mostly cosmetic fixes to Speex, Jean-Marc
decided
to call the result the official Speex 1.0 release! More about this
below.
1.7. Nathan Sharfi
Nathan is busy maintaining and enhancing all the different websites
that live under Xiph.org's umbrella. His goal is to give the pages a
more navigable structure and to make them more accessible and
standards compliant.
He is also working on migrating the FLAC pages to the Xiph.org
server,
which is still underway due to technical problems.
2. Recent Developments
2.1. Speex goes 1.0, Xiph.org goes 501(c)3
You may have heard the news [3]elsewhere, but just in case you
haven't, it is my pleasure to announce that Xiph.org has reached two
milestones in short succession.
The first milestone is the official first release of the [4]Speex
speech compression codec.
The second milestone is that Xiph.org is now a federally recognized
charitable organization under 501(c)3 status. If you live in the U.S.
and have money to spare, please donate to Xiph.org and get a tax
break
in return.
More details about these two events can be found in this tandem
[5]press release.
2.2. New Icecast2 Binary for Win32
[6]Oddsock, maker of Oddcast DSP and other fine streaming tools, has
built and packaged a new Icecast binary for Win32 systems fresh out
of
CVS. The binary reflects the development status as of March 19th and
is available [7]on this page.
