Installing this package you will be able to play Ogg Vorbis, Ogg Speex, Ogg Theora and Ogg FLAC with Media Player or any other DirectShow application like The Core Media Player, Foobar2000...
Known issues :
- Seeking is slightly less responsive in this latest version. Most noticable in speex.
- Seeking very close to the end of speex or vorbis files, causes all audio to cease, requiring stop/play to resolve. Particularly noticable in small files, seems roughly 5 secs from end where this occurs.
- There is no way to alter the audio encoding parameters, vorbis defaults to quality 0.3
- When transcoding theora, if a media decoder (WMV usually) doesn't advertise its framerate, output may be time distorted.
- Created files are not yet gauranteed to be correct. No produced encoded files should be distributed.
- I think there may be a little memory leak in the encoders... nothing too serious, but if you try and encode really large files it may be a problem.
- Theora will not playback with Windows Media Player 9 or 10, but vorbis, speex and FLAC are just fine, but will in previous WMP's and other DS players like BSPlayer.
- Theora and annodex playback requires directX 9.
- CMML decoding requires MSXML3.dll to be present (it was installed with IE6).
- Only plays Ogg encapsulated FLAC. Won't play normal FLAC files.
