Re: [ngl-devel] NGL multi-sample support

[Sebastien Metrot]

Hi!

I trying to get thru the email that got accumulated in my inbox lately 
(heavy beta time at my day time job, so little time for anything else). 
I was expecting a reply on this subject from Vincent (zerodeux) but he 
just got a new job and he seemed to have just vanished from the net :-( !
Anyway, contributions on this subject are welcome. Can you try to make 
it fit in the current NGL implementation and send a patch if you are 
still interested?

Thanks a lot!

Sebastien
