development update

[kuniklo]

I've finished making the C version of libmusepack multi-instance and multi-thread safe. As usual, the code is available via svn at:

http://www.caddr.com/svn/libmusepack/trunk

You can also just download a tarball from the websvn interface here:

I've updated the docs to reflect the new api and made the default doxygen styles stlightly less ugly.

Next I'm going to work on getting the musepack-tools code to compile on the mac again. Let me know if I'm stepping on anybody's toes here.

Great stuff, I'll look into getting this integrated into xine soon.

That would be excellent. Please let me know if I can help out in any way.

I am not a developer, mind you, and I am very much looking forward to Musepack support in xine, but I have been wondering about what it means having to maintain two different versions of libmusepack - one C++ version and another pure C version. If the C++ version of the library is updated, will someone have to update the C library, as well? As end user, if I want to compile Musepack support for say GStreamer (C++) and xine ©, will I have to install both library versions?

Wouldn't it after all be a better idea to just create a C-wrapper for the C++ library and have only one library - with one clearly defined API - to maintain?

Please correct me if I am getting this wrong.

And receive many thanks for your effort and work.

The C version will become the standard and the C++ version will be deprecated. None of us want to maintain two versions either.

Thanks a lot !
This is cool to get musepack supported almost everywhere

There's still one pocket of resistance left, namely mpd 8)
Anyways, cool stuff, going to give xine a shot.
