It took this time to get the same expertise you Mplayer people got by 
working on other containers. That's just a different learning curve. 
Apparently you don't respect it. We also had the same complaints from 
the Xiph people (vaporware). We just chose to make the format clear 
before we code. Instead of coding and then thinking (you see the result 
in OGG). Another philosophy you apparently don't respect too...
