Yeah, I am still patiently awaiting this. Discussions w/ VIA have gotten
me nowhere, as VIA's employees want me to acquire an MPEG LLA license
*before* I can get the code from them, at least last time that I tried.

Perhaps we'll see a shift away from this policy (a la Intel) with the
new open-source releasing that is happening now.

If I could get some of the current starter work, I might actually be
able to help pick up the ball myself.
