flac dev - Sep 2004 - FLAC Plug-in for Windows Media Player?

I was wondering if there is a FLAC plugin for Windows Media Player?  Just
from doing web-searches, it doesn't look like there is, at least as far as I
can tell.  So, if there isn't a plug-in for WMP, well, why isn't there?
And
is there anyone working on one?

I'm a programmer, though I've never done any WMP programming.  But, I
would
think it wouldn't be too hard to do a FLAC plug-in.  So, I guess I might
look at doing one and contributing it to the project if nobody else is
working on one.

Its a FLAC decoder filter for DirectShow, and opensource. Unfortunately 
there is no FLAC source filter for it yet, but if someone adds FLAC 
parsing to Tobias' OggDS source filters, at least OggFLAC could be played .

If you want to make a source filter for it, we can certainly assist you, 
just give us a shout. You could even join the CoreFLAC project as 
developer, and we upload the working code to Xiph CVS once its ready and 
tested.
