Why would the various forms need to be pre-generated? I can easily imagine some mechanism where my flac files are filtered through a flac decoder and into a vorbis encoder on-the-fly. The same goes for iconv conversion, image processing, etc. In fact, this is the sole purpose of my suggestion. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
