Hmm, no such possilbity, it's all or one... What's the usefulness?
seperate to 4 basic types for extendibility, now we can add new fields without breaking old demuxers
please elaborate
If someone makes up a new header, and we decide we like it and add it to info table, using the old method, old demuxers not knowing the new info entry would crap out on the entire info packet because of the v/vb stuff. With the type stuff, it can be done in backwards compatible way, lacking the demuxer just understand the new header... Also it's done in a way where we can force muxers to use rational and not float for some values or similar... Or force utf-8, etc.

interresting ;)
I'm assuming you mean the totally incorrect way I did it, sorry, I was confused. :) Already sent a fixed patch. Commit... ? - ods15
