Tom Bampton is a god.

So I've been freaking out thinking that I wouldn't be able to use the "Fractals" skin, or use Theora videos on any other skin because it looked like there was no way to make Theora video loop without some stuttering as it closed and reopened the file.

Tom Bampton managed to make Theora loop smoothly. Tom is also responsible for developing a patch that lets me asynchronously pre-load audio data for the next skin in advance of actually using it, allowing me to have skin transitions that don't cause the engine to pause, or have dozens of ms of latency.

Tom is my new god. I bow before his superior coding skills.
