theres another aspect that was mentioned on IRC but i belive not the ML. swr is easy to maintain for us, we can change it in any way if we need to. avr is maintained by libav and if we need or want major changes thats not nearly so easy. also while there are some very loud advocates pushing for avr none of them has volunteered to maintain avr or provide security support for it.This makes the suggestion to use avr quite dishonest IMO. I definitively will not maintain avr, its just a fork of my swr code and iam happy to merge improvments back into swr. and while some may claim theres no such thing as the need for a avr maintainer in ffmpeg. trying to build ffmpeg with avr and trying the avr regression tests will show that it simply doesnt work that way. So i would suggest that we all work together and pull on the same string in the same direction and work on swr. That also includes all the libav developers, everyone of them is welcome without exception to work on swr, if they feel its lacking something that avr has, patches, pull requests or direct commits are welcome! If API users feel that swr is not similar enough to avr, some API wraper to provide the avr API from a swr implemetation is welcome [...] -- Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB In fact, the RIAA has been known to suggest that students drop out of college or go to community college in order to be able to afford settlements. -- The RIAA
