That sounds like a good thing. > Because i'm not a full-fledged DD, i'll need a sponsor for this > package to make it into debian. I'll sponsor you. It'll take quite a while for the first iteration whilst we check it, but once I know you are doing a reasonable job and my scripts are set up it should be reasonably efficient.

I don't know enough about this to disagree, but I will just observe that I didn't recognise libvorbisidec (but assumed it was something to do with vorbis), whereas I would know what tremor was. It does match with the libvorbis alternative nicely. > In the same directory is a version of the cmus ncurses-based music > player which has been rebuilt to use libvorbisidec instead of > libvorbis (thanks to Felipe Sateler for pointing out that this package > has a simple config option to use libvorbisidec). Presumably the dependencies of packages depending on libvorbis should be changed to be libvorbis | libvorbisidec in due course. > I've used cmus together with libvorbisidec on igor to play back ogg > vorbis files in real time (with 50% idle CPU, comparable to libmad0 > playback of mp3's).
