I didn't plan on having a PECL package to do what your does -- the point of File_Ogg and its extending packages for streams such as Vorbis is to extract header data. I was hoping to use a PECL package to extract and make available the same data. My question was simply to ask if your package could be "adapted" to the same goal. > My question to you at this point then, is what do you know of C?

To answer you question, I was not intending to help maintain the PECL code, but I guess I could use this as an excuse to learn C. > In either event, I've gotten enough positive responses, I'm going to go > ahead and upload oggvorbis for now, with linux_oss waiting in the wings > (possibly to die there) while I look into libsdl.
