Log: trying to end the codec id battle
I hate this kind of blitzkrieg, that tries to establish new Status Quo. I'm afraid you just turn a struggle into full scale war.
Actually this is how our struggle with Diego started. He ignored the discussion and made highly disputable commit. Then things escalated. Do you want the same?
no, i want nut finished and useable, not delay it by months or years due to minor things like the codec id if we cant finish nut iam fine with leaving nut development and simply publishing my own nut like format outside svn, you can then keep this "struggle" going on ad infinitum with whoever doesnt unsubscribe from nut-devel AFAIK you didn find a single issue with the avi based suggestion, your suggestion IIRC was based on a new nut specific id system, which noone, not even you are willing to implement and maintain ... so complaining about my commit really is trolling and nothing else, suggest and implement some other solution, if its better noone will object but as long as you have no alternative or arent willing to implemet it (the avi based system doensnt need any real work to be done as avi fourccs are already supported ...) then you really should not complain

What are we going to use for wav tags for audio formats that doesn't have official one? I have asked this quiestion about 5 times already.
this is completly independant of the id system, in every system you will always have to deal with codecs which have no tag (yet)

That would be better to be named "SourceStreamTag" .
i disagree, but of course the name is totally irrelevant ...
I'd also like to have "SourceEncoder" that contains the name and version of the encoder.
we already have that and its called "Encoder" [...] -- Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB In the past you could go to a library and read, borrow or copy any book Today you'd get arrested for mere telling someone where the library is
