So write this in the email instead of one completely devoid of any reasoning.
Replies that say something is wrong or that you disagree, and not /why/ are not
useful to the author, nor are they effective at persuading others. I'm certainly
reminded of why I stopped frequenting this list.

Anyway, your argument is basically that we shouln't conform to specs depending
on who wrote them? That's arbitrary, and a poor precedent to set, in my opinion.
Further, AudioToolBox, while it may use an official decoder, is not distributed by
Dolby, nor, as far as I know, endorsed by them (they won't even tell you if it's
theirs inside, I believe). I suspect Apple set it up to not apply DRC, not Dolby.

The rest of your mail is more trolling, which I will not reply to.

So, that's my two cents on the subject - the rest of the list can decide if they
have merit or not - I am done replying to you, since you cannot act like an adult.
