Sorry, I wasn't clear. What I'm proposing is that we check it into CVS, since it will benefit many Linux users and others who choose to build Audacity from source, but that unless the patent situation changes, we don't distribute it in a binary. Most of these formats are already supported by Audacity on Mac OS X (in CVS), thanks to the ability to import and export using QuickTime. I think that the solution for Windows is to use Windows API functions to import other audio formats. Then, thanks to this FFMPEG contribution, we would have all three platforms covered. - Dominic |
