Notce I said I am a Debian Maintainer not a DD. As a DM I am not on
the main DD GPG key ring, but I am on the debian-maintainers keyring
for version >= 1.60.
I will GPG sign this email and you can check the web of trust.

You will also find that this page is the main homepage for libsndfile
a library that has been in Debian for at least 8 years and that I am
the main author.
I also have a history of fixing obscure libsndfile related bugs. See:

Since the problem may be with libogg or libvorbis, I may need an SVN
client to do an anon get of the ogg/vorbis sources.
