The whole point of LGPL is that closed source projects like eac3to can use LGPL libraries without having to go open source. That's the key difference between LGPL and GPL.

Thanks for the offer to help with development, and for the nice feedback, I appreciate that. I'd rather keep eac3to closed source, though, and do the bug fixing myself. I'm not aware of any major bugs (except maybe the Nero DRC bug, if that report is actually correct). So I'm not in a hurry to release a new version. Too busy with other stuff right now...

If you have some specific "big" new features you want to add to eac3to, you could either:
(1) Write some Delphi (!!) code and send it to me for integration into eac3to.
(2) Or you could create a little standard win32 dll, which eac3to would then link to.
