what happen to ogg/vorbis streams? what happen to gstreamer? why not vlc?

hi,

i refer to this issues:

https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-219
and
https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-456

both issues refer to the ogg/vorbis down stream on linux.
a stable mac solution would also be nice.

to quote tofu linden on VWR-456:

<quote>
I have some patches cooking which implement custom GStreamer sinks for audio and video, for the purposes of supporting streaming video in-world on Linux/unixoids.

It occurred to me that the underlying code for letting GStreamer fetch and decode streaming radio (instead of FMOD) would look very similar indeed.

So when these patches land, if I (or someone else) refactors the audio portion for hiding behind an interface which LLAudioEngine can use, that would give us these advantages:
1) It would re-implement the only feature which FMOD supports which OpenAL doesn't that we care about, paving the way for a fully-functional OpenAL (open-source!) audio port
2) It would bypass FMOD's fragile streaming of Vorbis (VWR-219)

this is two month ago.

now it's time to give us a feedback.

thanx,

tx Oh

p.s.: more response

Ogg will be awesome, VLC will be nice

I have no idea what is best. I don't even know what vlc is.
Just "working" would be nice. I can wait, I have thus far.

gstreamer is a much better idea than vlc
