   Yes, I think so. We include into comparison only codecs with presets,
   that we received from developers (so solve problem with preset
   settings selecting) and after last comparison we correspond with Dave
   Singer from Apple. He promised to help us to include Apple codec into
   next comparison.

   O, if you will help us with direct communication with developers -
   this will be wonderful! Thank you!
Yours,
  Dr. Vatolin
