Vorbis 1.0 for PS2 Linux

Posted by timothy on from the make-a-joyful-low-bitdepth-noise dept.

Jucius Maximus writes "As announced on the Ogg Vorbis site, PS2/Linux developer Brad Barclay has built Ogg Vorbis libraries for PS2 Linux. I'm not seeing any encoder tools there yet, but this has implications in third party multimedia development on the platform, making it potentially cheaper for people to develop applications with music due to Vorbis's non-hostile licensing."

    For the love of god lease stop!
    PS/2 is NOT Playstation 2.
    Its an old IBM computer range.

    I submitted this but it shows as rejected:

    I'm not complaining ... just wondering why it happenned. Also, please note that I did not call the PS2 by the wrong 'PS/2' name. You can blame timothy, hehe.

    Yeah, but he's done that and made RPMs for it. But don't forget that anything where you mention PS2 and Linux seems to instantly create some kind of excitement on this site.
