    These newsgroups are not very active - but news:comp.lang.vhdl is not
    being so well - so if one wants to ignore these newsgroups then one can
    also ignore this first article this month in these newsgroups.

    He has however coauthored e.g. a book in C afterwards.

    Buggy Media Player (Version 11.2505.2.0 Copyright 2025 Microsoft) credits
    him. One can assume that he is not guilty of its bugs. These credits are
    for System.Memory 4.5.3 and 4.5.4 and
    System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Unsafe 4.5.2 and 5.0.0 and System.Text.Encodings.Web 5.0.1 and System.Text.Json 5.0.2.

    I criticise Microsoft players on HTTP://Gloucester.Insomnia247.NL/FFMPEG_etc/FFPlay_modesty.HTM
    by contrasting them with FFPlay playing "a huge circa 4-gigabyte 74-hour MPEG-4 file".

    I would have liked to promote some Ada application, but e.g. ALIRE Crates Audio_base and Audio_wavefiles by Audio Software Engineer Gustavo André HOFFMANN do not support MPEG-4 even though he worked on MPEG-4. Cf. HTTP://Gusthoff.com/cv.html
    and
    HTTPS://ALIRE.Ada.dev/crates/audio_wavefiles
    and
    HTTPS://Alire.Ada.dev/crates/audio_base
