I'm not an experienced coder, but I can read C/C++ (at least a little ... ) and I am an experienced sysadmin, so I can help test and debug. Let me know what I can do to help. -Eric Rz. [0] I know ecasound already does ogg/vorbis via vorbize/ogg123, but it seems to me it would be better to use the file formats via libsndfile rather than piping data to separate encoder/decoder programs.
