Who developed foobar2000 0.9?

OK, not the most amazing topic but I can't help feeling curious.
Code: [Select]
foobar2000 audio player
Copyright (C) 2001-2006, Peter Pawlowski
Portions copyright (C) 2005-2006 Holger Stenger
All rights reserved.

As I understand things...
As I already knew, Peter Pawlowski (AKA "Peter" (as of 2006-04-25 )) is the principle developer.
As of version 0.9, Holger Stenger (AKA "foosion") also develops it as well. As his name has made it's way into the licence, I assume that to mean that parts of the core are copyrighted by Holger Stenger as opposed to external plugins.

So all that wasn't that hard to see, however, I came across a CV/Résumé on http://www.morbo.org/. By browsing it I noticed:
Quote
foobar2000: compact MS-Windows audio player. Co-developer, administrator of webservers and forums.
A little research later showed that Gian-Carlo Pascutto is "Garf". I am guessing by "co-developer" he is talking about the AAC decoder in foo_input_std? Or did he contribute to the core? (Forgive me, Garf. I don't mean to pick at your CV)

Are there any other developers for foobar2000 apart from external plugin developers?
While I am here, may I ask what parts you wrote foosion?

Chris

Maybe one day I'll become a detective!

I wrote parts of the equalizer system, parts on the input plugins, dithering support, and several of the bundled DSP's, and maybe some other minor things. I transferred them to Peter though and don't claim any copyright on them. (Aside from FAAD2, duh! )

Oh, so why aren't you included in the "credits"? Edit: Saw your edit...

Thanks for your replies.

Well I'd like to use this bandwidth to thank all the developers including component makers for making a such great product to confuse itunes users.

Hrm, speaking of which, has Peter / foobar dev team ever thought about donations? I'd love to throw a few bucks into a hat, and I'm sure others here would too.

Last time I heard, Klyith, Peter wasn't accepting donations personally, but if you'd like to support the project as directly as I know how, donate to HA, because foobar2000 uses a lot of its bandwidth.

Well, either way, I would personally love to thank ALL developers for making such a great media player.
