Announcing first release of liboggplay

OggPlay 0.0.1 Release
---------------------

liboggplay is a C library providing a simple programming interface for reading,
decoding and playing back Ogg files and streams. Ogg is an interleaving data
container developed by Monty at Xiph.Org, originally to support the Ogg Vorbis
audio format.

This release is available as a source tarball at:

http://www.annodex.net/software/liboggplay/download/liboggplay-0.0.1.tar.gz

This is an initial release.

The library is already in use by Mozilla to provide in-built support for
Ogg Theora in the HTML5 <video> tag.

About Oggplay
-------------

Oggplay comprises liboggplay and the command-line tool oggplay-info.

What is liboggplay designed to do?

There are several layers to a typical ogg playing application:
(1) Parsing of the ogg container format (handled by libogg and made usable by
    liboggz) and routing of packets
(2) Decoding of individual ogg packets (handled by libtheora, libvorbis,
    libfishsound, libcmml, etc. depending on contents)
(3) Maintenance of synchronisation between individual raw data streams
