That is intentional. I want to keep the code there compatible with
foo_hdcd, with my additions all optional. foo_hdcd just drops
hdcd_decode2.{c,h} in, it doesn't use the shared library.
I've added a line to README.md that specifies the include line to use.

There could possibly be a simpler api that exposes less, but again,
foo_hdcd looks into those structures directly, I want to remain
compatible there. If you look at README.md, you should see that the
api is very simple to use as it is, even with the large exposure in
the header. The logging callback, detection, analyze mode, are all
optional features. The library does build as a windows dll, but I
don't know that the maintainer of foo_hdcd will be interested in that.

I will do that soon.

Perhaps, ok.

It does build and work as a shared library as I far as I have tested
it, which is everything I can think of. Is there something specific
that is not visible or working?

I will add some code comments for that.

Thanks for your comments, any more are welcome.
