ogg dev - Dec 2013 - XiphQT and OSX 10.9

Hi,

After running 10.9 for a while, I noticed iTunes would no longer play my ogg
files.  I found a workaround suggesting that I force iTunes to run in 32 bit
mode.  After doing this, iTunes informs me that it can only be run in 64 bit
mode.

The reason appears to be that in 10.9, Quicktime APIs have been largely
deprecated.  Before I realized that was the cause, I was trying to build 64 bit
XiphQT binaries, but it fails because a number of the Quicktime types it wants
to use no longer exist (among other things).

Has anyone looked in to workarounds for this problem or what steps would need to
be taken in order to get XiphQT working with a 64-bit version of iTunes? 
I'm assuming XiphQT is not the only third party component that adds support
for a file format to iTunes and that it isn't impossible to continue to do.

I was thinking about digging further but I thought I should ask first in case it
has already been done.

Thanks,
Kevin

The last time I talked to someone at Apple, there were simply no 
replacements for the APIs that had been deprecated (the story was that 
they had internal APIs that they were "stabilizing" before they made 
them public). That was two years ago, however. I don't know if the 
situation has changed.

I don't think it has been done. If you find something out, I am 
definitely curious.
