>>The game companies are interested in>>Vorbis, and this is a good thing :) I am a lead programmer at a major game company (Maxis) and Vorbis is potentially very important to us. I am pushing to make it the default streaming sound format (e.g. non-sound effects) for all future titles. This assumes that it works as well as anticipated. Other subdivisions of Electronic Arts are looking at it as well. The day Vorbis is ready with a decent level of first-cut optimization is the day I start incorporating it into our apps, with SimCity 4000 being the first.

I am definately not an authoritative source on the matter, but Vorbis interface APIs should remain relatively stable, and if anything does change, it will likely be minor, so I would suggest that, if possible, you could write the code sooner and it should still work later.> Paul Pedriana > Senior Software Engineer > MaxisWhat fun.

You feel sleepy. Notice how restful it is to watch the cursor blink. Close your eyes. The opinions stated above are yours. You cannot imagine why you ever felt otherwise. <HR NOSHADE> <UL> <LI>application/pgp-signature attachment: stored </UL> -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
