The Ogg team is still pushing towards RC3 among other goals. Here is a

weeks.

Stan, with the help of other contributors, has been working with libao
on OS X and working on the ALSA plugin.

Chris Wolf has tagged his updated Win32 modules. The new modules can
be checked out from the win32-tools and win32sdk modules with the tag
vorbis1_0_public_release_candidate_2p1. All Win32 developers should be

3. New Developments
Not a whole lot happened this week; everyone is just coding.
3.1. Ogg On A Chip Project
Pattara Kiatisevi [15]announced the Ogg on a Chip project, which will
implement Ogg in form of a "system-on-a-chip" using
"hardware/software
co-design techniques". More information on the project can be found at
the [16]sourceforge project page.

3.2. Ogg Vorbis For Dreamcast
Thorsten Titze wrote in with the latest status of his Dreamcast Ogg
Vorbis code. It has now been included into the Open Source KOS
Operating System. This allows hobbyist Dreamcast programmer to easy
write games and tools using Ogg Vorbis. KallistiOS can be found at its
[17]sourceforge project page.
3.3. Tarkin Interface To Ogg
Olivier has been [18]proposing how Tarkin should be packetized and
interfaced to the Ogg layer. A first cut at this has also been
committed to the w3d module in CVS.

personal mailboxes. The following is a highlight of the interesting
things that have been mentioned or announced.
4.1. Ashampoo Media Player+
Tim Green wrote in to announce the release of Ashampoo Media Player+,
his company's new audio and video player including CD burning
features. The player should be on the [19]website.
