Thanks. I would buy it but there are two problems: First it is  US$
499 when i use it in a program and then there is only a precompiled
library for LINUX. It's okay to get a precompiled library for windows.
But my experiences with binary Linux API changes are really bad, on
for this i can only accept source code, at least when i pay US$ 499.
And the footprint of the library seems also to be a little bit high
with 3 MB.
