Actually, no. CURL runs the client end; rdxport.cgi accesses the audio store RDWaveFile. Yet another component you'd want to keep on POSIX. Unless, that is, you wanted to try it with IIS. (Be scared. Be *very* scared). > As for audio, ASIO is callback based, you surely wouldn't want to be > doing windows native audio. In all honesty I don't know much about it -- the closest I've gotten to programming audio on Windows is PortAudio. > The BIG showstopper is the filesystem semantics issue.

All still there if you want to have a go. Be warned though - if my experience with CallCommander was any indication, getting it to compile cleanly is just the start. *Lots* of runtime gotchas. Nothing very major, but even on CallCommander there was quite a lot of it that had to be combed out through regression testing. > Actually the biggest headache here is probably that Rivendells release > policy would require a new major number because of the new library > dependency. Correct. I'm not sure it's really a headache, more just a political/educational item. > I figure I could do that forward port and have most of it working in a > month if I went for it full time (Unemployed at the moment so that is > actually possible). > > Could you update my CVS creds with a new SSH key if I sent it to you?
