[svn] - We got a new plugin, captain!
- FileWriter is the ultimate plugin for dumping audio to files. It
should be the successor of Disk Writer and Out-Lame, as it supports the
same output formats as those (WAVE and MP3). The main advantage of
having only one file dumping plugin for many formats is that not every
plugin has to think about file handling (where to write files to, how to
call them etc.) that much anymore.
- FileWriter is also very extensible - adding new output formats should
be very easy.
