Nothing yet SLoB,

The sound engine I am using doesn't want to support that format as it costs a lot to license and is proprietary.

I will need a fair amount of time to sit down and figure out the format myself so that I can perhaps add support for it myself. If not, I may end up switching sound engines, however I'm not sure I want to do that, because the engine I'm using is by far the best i've used.

Doesn't Linux have this somewhere? If so, it would be open source.

I think those K-Lite codecs has one don't they? And I think they use open sources for their codecs.
If it aint broke, fix it anyway. You may do it better.

Yeah there are a couple of sources where I can get it from, its just the time to implement it. I've had a play with adapting the other source, but it looks like its going to be a long, slow haul to get it working.

Just might take a bit longer to implement that's all.
