FYI http://uci.sourceforge.net/ I have no idea if any of the things these guys are planning/doing for Linux maybe helpful for OpenBeOS Mediakit people, but i thought i'll let you know. I love the remark on the bottom of the page : ............................................ What about Transors? "Transors", a codec-interface specification apparently being developed in conjunction with the MCF specification, have just recently come to the attention of the UCI project developers. We are currently contacting those working on this project to discuss whether a joint effort would be appropriate and feasable. It appears that transors have some slightly different goals and approaches than those of UCI, and thus may have different advantages/disadvantages for different applications. Again, we are optimistic that the two projects can actually work well together and even complement each other down the line. ............................................ :-) !!
