I will mention that I stopped working on Ogg Frog because there was an
architectural problem I could not solve.  I may have the solution at
hand now but it's going to be a while before I actually try it.

The input codecs weren't the problem, I was using Xiph's code for Ogg
Vorbis and FLAC, some other widely used Open Source decoder for the
MP3.  I think I wrote my own WAVE encoder.

I like to do things the hard way.  Sometimes I discover interesting,
new things that way but it can be a huge PITA.
