Vorbis dev - Dec 2000 - ogg123, Chrismas release

Merry Christmas, Vorbis folks!

Here's bunches of cleanups to ogg123. I haven't changed much in the
raw code, mostly a few places with broken implementations. I'm also
trying to cleanup some places where we assume too much, because ogg123
might eventually be able to safely run suid (or sgid) (to access the
audio devices).

I think the next thing I'll attack is the buffering.

You would have to audit all of Vorbis itself as well. If people want
to make ogg123 suid (to give world/group access to the playing Ogg on
the audio device), maybe they should just make the audio device world/
group writeable? Are there any _re`l_ problems with that?

Cheers,

Segher
