Thanks a lot for your advice.

I agree that it is proper to choose some simpler task to get fammilar with
the project. On the interesting patches list, I found 'PES packetizer' quite
interesting. I would like to help clean up this patch. Would you please
give me some more information about this patch? Or should I choose
another to work on?

As to the RealAudio encoder, I would like to continue working on it but
as a long term task. The RealAudio decoder seems to be contained
in ra144.c and ra288.c. I think it will take me about 1-2 moths to finish the
encoder.

Thanks
Sam
