This list is no longer used for multimedia package discussion. I have CCed the pkg-multimedia-maintainers list when replying to this email.

I personally find what you have done here very very interesting, and intend to check this out for myself. I am not a Debian Developer, but I know the pkg-multimedia team would very likely be more than happy to help you get your work into Debian. Hopefully someone from that team will respond.

I suggest you also consider subscribing to the pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list on lists.alioth.debian.org, and following/continuing duscussion there.

Thanks for your great work on something that I have long wanted. This may give me a good reason to keep my Hi-MD around after all.

Luke
