the out-of-the-box ogg vorbis lib e.g. chooses the amount of samples it dispenses based on the number of frames it had decoded. if you want to read blockwise, that is: based on a blocksize that _you_ want, you have to chop up and merge the blocks that the lib gives you. if a lib guarantees to always mix as many samples as i require, it is out-of-the-box ready for blockwise streaming, even with small blocks of data. -- -- leonard "paniq" ritter -- http://www.paniq.org -- http://www.mjoo.org
