And DVDs (CSS) or MPEG in general (with MPEG decoder licensing troubles) don't have this problem? In general, have a look at other projects and see how widespread, or rather how non-centralized, the development on similar systems is. For a generic multimedia framework, see gstreamer (http://www.gstreamer.net), with which you should be able to make a start. Gstreamer should be able to play ogg/mp3/MPEG/DVD/VCD/etc. Ronald -- - .-. - /V\ | Ronald Bultje <rbultje@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> - // \\ | Running: Linux 2.4.17-XFS and OpenBSD 3.0 - /( )\ | http://ronald.bitfreak.net/ - ^^-^^
