maister wrote a VLC plugin[0][1] to output to RoarAudio[2] using<br>
libroar[4]. I would like to see this included in upstream VLC.<br>
What is the process to get this done?<br>
<br>
However I currently see a problem: if VLC moves over to LGPL the plugin<br>
may not be compatible as libroar is not compatible ([5] or [6], don't<br>
know which applies). libroar is GPLv3. There is µRoar[7], a<br>
implementation of the RoarAudio protocol for license incompatible<br>
software. It is under LGPL v3 or later. Still this would require rewrite<br>
of lage parts of the plugin.<br>
<br>
What is the process of this possible change of VLC to LGPL? Haven't<br>
found up to date news on the page. Should commiting this plugin maybe be<br>
delayed until the situation is clear again?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>At VDD it was decided that the GPL -> LGPL change will happen in steps, but no strict timetable for that was set. And GPL plugins/modules are still welcome after the license changes. </div>

Thanks for your work :)<br>
<br>
PS: please keep RoarAudio list in Cc.<br>
