Ogg technology on BeOS/Haiku
Hey, apologies for not getting back at you sooner. You wondered whether Ogg technologies are supported.

The commercial application SoundPlay (http://www.xs4all.nl/~marcone/soundplay.html) has had support for Ogg Vorbis for many years.

I do not use Haiku myself but I do use Zeta, which turns out to be the ogg.extractor from Haiku. Furthermore, the system contains its own libogg.so which could have already been in BeOS before Be, Inc. went bankrupt. Furthermore, the VideoLan Client (VLC) has its own libogg.so and an additional libogg_plugin.so, SoundPlay also comes with its own libogg.so. Seen the similarities in code I have strong reason to believe that libogg.so was already provided in earlier versions of BeOS, although you will need to confirm this with someone who knows more about this.

Other than being able to confirm that Zeta and Haiku have support for Ogg Vorbis, I cannot guarantee that the other Ogg technologies are supported although I believe FLAC is.

Here is a little screenshot. The other search results (middle window) have to do with "logging". http://members.chello.nl/s.groen/screen_ogg.gif Eddyspeeder 00:53, 10 November 2006 (UTC)


 * You asked me a while ago if I had the picture in PNG too. In fact, yes I do. Here it is: http://members.chello.nl/s.groen/screen_ogg.png Good luck with it! Eddyspeeder 00:22, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
