Hi,
I'm kinda disappointed to see that avifile is using my OggVorbis code from
MPlayer without giving me a single line of credit or not even a notice that
the code has been take from the mplayer project.
In the ChangeLog it only mentions some 3 magic numbers take from mplayer
which seems to refer to the three ogg_packet headers which size and
themselves are stored in the data chunk of the WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE struct.
Of course both mplayer and avifile are opensource projects so it's ok to
share source, but it's part of an developers etiquette to mark code taken
from other sources with it's origin as it's for example done in mplayers
documentation under the Authors section.
It took me several days of hard work to implement Ogg/Vorbis support in
MPlayer so maybe that makes clear why I'm angry about this.
Btw. one can clearly identify that avifiles' code is taken from MPlayer by
simply taking a look at the info/debug messages used which are strangely
similiar to mine ;-)
So a note about my work in the credits/whatever would make me happy again :)
