The Future of Ogg Vorbis

Posted by Hemos on from the patent-free-royalty-free dept.

Brett writes "The author of MAD, the fixed point MP3 decoder comments on what is wrong with Ogg Vorbis, with a response from jack, one of the founders of the format. "Ogg Vorbis may be the holy grail of patent-free audio compression, but there are some serious issues blocking its path to widespread acceptance. Unfortunately most of us are powerless to correct the situation; the problems must be addressed by Vorbis' creators. " The rest of the of the story is currently running on K5." And Jack's response is enlightening as well.

    Yes

    are you running an X version of emacs?

    Nope.

    $ ldd /usr/bin/emacs-nox
    libncurses.so.5 => /lib/libncurses.so.5 (0x4002a000)
    libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x4006b000)
    libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4008e000)
    libgpm.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgpm.so.1 (0x401cc000)
    /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)


    You do realize, don't you, that you can run emacs in an xterm?
