Sam S. Adams, IBM Distinguished Engineer, IBM Research wrote Then I made my changes. I looked at Karl's version with the iconic buttons today and noticed that MPEGPlayer2 was included and seemed quite different than the MPEGPlayer class in the version I started with. Am I behind the curve here?
Karl and I've have been talking about this very issue over the last week or so.
So what I'm going to do with Karl's participation of course is have him take over ownership of the MPEGPlayer along with his contribution of the MPEGPlayerMorph part of the Smalltalk code and have him merge his work on MPEGPlayer2 with the original MPEGPlayer since he has more time and interest in doing further work on the visual side of the mpeg solution.
I'll still look after the C code part and the basic interface to the external library, since I'm more interested in addressing performance concerns at a lower level. This transition will take a few days I suspect but should reduce the competing players so to speak...
