From: FLAC Plugin broken in QuickTime 7 under OSX 10.3.9

Is the FLAC plugin based off of the old vorbis quicktime component?  Apparently that's broken as well, so it would make sense.

it is.  there are still unchanged references to vorbis in parts of ddrix's code.

The solution is to write a proper implementation using the AudioCodec API, which is specifically designed to allow 3rd parties to add to support for new audio data formats to the OS.  Once an AudioCodec for a new format is available, that format is usable globally across CoreAudio and Quicktime.

I plan to implement AudioCodec support for MPC (no ETA yet) as part of my effort to more thoroughly support the format on OS X, but once I have the basic work done, it should be relatively trivial to reuse most of the code to support other formats that need support like vorbis, FLAC, wavpack, etc.

where have you learned how to do that?  I find apple's developer docs lately to be lacking (outdated and missing a lot of crucial info).

is automatic use of AudioCodecs a feature of QT7 & the latest itunes?  before 7 I thought it had to be done with a QT component which itunes would also use.

anyway, that would be great if you could blaze a tail with mpc.
