Thanks for writing back. I don’t know enough about ffmpeg and packaging…can it be built into a binary wheel for systems that don’t have it?
Yes, I think a pure Python Ogg Vorbis might be enough for Arcade. You’re right that Arcade’s audio needs are pretty basic. OTOH, it’s a trillion hours of work for you over the next year, not just completing but the (like avbin) pile of annoying bugs. if I did a bounty, I’d have to get some more folks putting money in. Still, that’s the most attractive option. —Paul > On Feb 25, 2017, at 3:15 AM, Benjamin Moran <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hey Paul, > > I know that library.
