Better get used to it. You can't stop us. You can only complain.
This sort of attitude is exactly what annoys me the most, i.e. the explicit imposition of will without any concern whatsoever as to how it affects downstream "users" (whether ordinary users, or other programmers/coders). To me this shows exactly how the "Community" aspect of the "Open Source Community" is being destroyed by this debate.
So what about other new sound formats? I know that there is a HDCD (High Definition CD) that is backwards compatible. I know that they are out there as I own a couple, although I don't have a player for them; they play fine on a standard CD player. Does anyone have a URL for any technical information that compares the newer formats. I now know of HDCD, SACD, DVD-Audio (which is not strictly compatible with standard DVD's). Any others I should know of?
