(Get the code!)
Hrm, Mfreadwrite.lib is not in the Windows 6.0 (Vista) SDK (the one I use for 1.9.x) so I can't build the plugin for 1.9. I guess this will have to wait until 1.10.
Bill: Doesn't Media Foundation allow us to use WMA and other kinds of file types in addition to M4A? If so, how much work would be involved in adding all of them that we don't currently support? What about just WMA/ASF?
We still need an official decision on whether or not to do this as a plugin. So the questions are:
1) Can we legally distribute the MediaFoundation
2) Will a Mixxx binary that has it built-in (as opposed to a plugin) still run fine (just without M4A/WMA support) on systems without the required system libraries, such as Windows 2000 & XP?
If the answer to both is yes, and RJ has no issues, I'd say let's go ahead and merge this for 1.10.
