[PD-dev] CAF file support?

[Dan Wilcox]

This is something that I could potential do at work and tackling that list could probably be part of it. I was thinking of making a generic interface so that file types could be split into separate .c files like the audio & midi backends. This would make adding a new format much easier and improve maintenance as well.

This is something that probably would happen more in late summer-fall time, although I could imagine doing smaller aspects of it beforehand for 0.50. I could justify using this time for the overall project, to some degree. :)
