foo_input_awma, WMA decoder with tagging support Options

[Acropolis]

now version 0.1.5 is considered to be mature
but beware that I don't know all the attributes, so there maybe some readonly data shown as meta data or editable data shown as readonly still.

0.1.2
minor bug fixed

0.1.1
added replaygain support
added vbr display support (though it's inaccurate due to the api available from WMSDK)

I've been waiting for the tagging support for wma files since the first day of using 0.9, but quite frustrated until I make it with my hands.
this is a wma decoder component that supports tagging. I take it as the replacement of the wma decoder in foo_input_std, which doesn't support tagging.
the lacking functionality was almost the only reason to keep me still using 0.8.3 sometimes. now I can delete my 0.8.3 directory....

to be able to use it, please read here carefully
there is a little problem to use this plugin to handle wma over the foo_input_std, to be able to use it, the name of the dll must be alphabetically lower order than foo_input_std (that's why I use foo_input_awma instead of foo_input_wma), generally this will work.
but if not, you can try to move away foo_input_std from the component directory, then start foobar, let it remove the setting, then put it back again, and do it again with this dll. should work.

the best method is of course to remove the internal support of foo_input_std, a simple way is to patch it, but I think I can't provide the patched foo_input_std, but the above method should work, I tried that way while writing this component.

* All of my components need the VC8 runtime libraries *

cheers
