Just for the record, I don't know if I gave the one above proper
emphasis, but this way, I can give you proper attribution also (I hope
that this is possible with CVS).

Just for the record, did you receive the attachment that I sent? I'm
asking because I didn't. I have to fix some of my e-mail filtering of
attachments here...

Oh, darn... Does that mean that Debian's lame will not be compiled
with sndfile? One question, though: what does k3b and the kio slaves
use lame for? For decoding MP3s? Shouldn't they be using a specialized
software for decoding files?

Well, the functions in the "portableio" (they aren't portable) are all
easy enough to be written... All they effectively do is write a given
short/int/long in little or big endian form to a C's FILE... I can
come up with another patch that reimplement that, but that's so silly
to have to rewrite... :-(
