Yes, honesty dictates that I say the reason I did it that way was because I never believed my Audio code would be accepted after all the malarky with it a few months back - long before the nomenclature issue existed. >Once we have figured out all those issues and worked in code that offers that >functionality, then your plugin should be able to use all those. :) >A previous mail in this thread could give the impression that "the core guys" >are "in the way" from letting this plugin run as-is on a plain original >Rockbox by anything else than pure technical merits.

As I mentioned on IRC I would also happily help with all these points, I just wanna do cool programming stuff, I don't really care about the direction too much. But, as none of my code can be included in Rockbox, I can only offer you moral support and keep pushing the REALLY EASY TO USE (lol) windows dev kit on my site in the hope of attracting new programmers. >I was only waiting for your personal attacks to start again to make me regret >breaking my promise in the past. Your wait is over ...it ain't gonna happen - I offered my metaphorical hand in friendship, you metaphorically accepted it ...nothing else is relevant [to me] Peace, BlueChip _______________________________________________ http://cool.haxx.se/mailman/listinfo/rockbox Received on 2004-06-10 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
