Re: [glob2-devel] New features, beta and glob2's future

[Martin Nyffenegger]

Hello,
For my part I am a OS X maintainer. I am not familiar with the OS X 
sound support system, but will try to work on it if I do find the time 
(actually it is not that I don't have the time, but I am most of it to 
tired to be motivated to code...).

As for the beta release, I will work on some nice packaging as soon as 
it is here to post it on some main Apple related sites (think of 
Apple.com, and versiontracker.com mainly). I hope that this will bring 
some new interested people.
