The Xiph.org people are looking for some help getting things out the door. I expect that there are a good many capable Ogg/Vorbis users here in Arch-land... Anybody interested?

Since it's been almost 2 years since vorbis-tools 1.2.0 was released, would it be reasonable to see 1.3.0 soon? There are plenty of changes in there that deserve to see the light of day - the ReplayGain support in ogg123 and the vcut fixes in particular have my attention.

Tell me about it.  It's been one year since I put out an RC.  However, shortly after, I had to get a second job, and, well...

I should be able to work on the new release after February.

Oh, and here's a full changelog of everything that changed between releases: https://trac.xiph.org/browser/trunk/vorbis-tools/CHANGES

There were so many contributions from so many people...  I hope I can gather all the names for a special thank you message.

Anyhow, only two things are missing from the final release if memory serves me well:

* a big patch for vorbiscomment to add padding in Vorbis files * fixing the gettextize stuff in oggdec since it's not working for some reason

Actually, if anybody here knows how to work with gettextize properly, your input would be quite appreciated here.

Aside from gettext, what else is outstanding that should happen before a release?  We've recently gotten interest from someone who wants to get some work done on libao, I am wondering if there is some possible work-force-multiplier available in getting releases of both moving now. Monty
