<br>Hello,<br><br>I intend to add mp3 support to the svn codebase soon. It has worked flawlessly<br>with EliteForce sound data which is on the largest part mp3 based, so it is<br>well tested. (x86, x86_64, ppc, Linux, MacOSX, Windows...)
<br>I know that Timbo has some reservations against mp3 support, mostly for<br>ideological reasons.<br>Granted, I would always prefer vorbis over mp3. Still, we cannot hide from the<br>fact that mp3 is a common format so there are cases where sound/music people
<br>want to use for their mods are exclusively available in mp3 format to them.<br>To convert them to ogg would mean a loss of quality.<br>The mp3 support would be used like the vorbis stuff and will have to be<br>explicitly enabled at compile time (
i.g. Makefile.local). Furthermore, libmad<br>is required.<br>Protest now, or I will apply the changes in a few days.<br><br>- --<br>Thilo Schulz<br>-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----<br>Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux)<br><br>
