We will now have to prepare Internet-Drafts in preparation for new RFCs for the new mime types and get into a discussion with IETF/IANA as to changing the old registration. If that is not possible, we may need to revert to the earlier suggestion of keeping .ogg for "anything in ogg" rather than .ogx , and accept the problem that audio HW players are going to barf on .ogg video files.
I have read your chat with Monty after I left. I have seen a RFC regarding deprecating text/javascript for application/javascript, so in theory it is possible we will be able to do the same. Remember that this issue isn't just about HW players. I'm mostly involved in it because of marketing. Do you know that some people e-mail the flac list to compain about Ogg FLAC because they think it will make their files lossy? They confuse Vorbis for Ogg and this is in big part due to the extension mess. If we want the other codecs to succeed -- the others being Theora, OggPCM, etc. -- we need this change. Then, there's the whole HW mess, of course.
I am rather busy these days, so if anybody else is willing to take a lead in preparing the RFCs and I would just provide support, I would be quite happy with that.
Count me in. I will do what I can. -Ivo _______________________________________________ Flac-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xiph.org/mailman/listinfo/flac-dev
