Looks like everyone is busy with higher priorities, so it's more likley the far future.
Once it gets finished, it probably gets comitted to FFMpeg and usable with perian (I'm assuming that's the ffdshow equivalent on OS X) or something.

I don't know if there are any other porting projects for lagarith.
Is there any news about Lagarith on OSX? I found this:
http://trac.perian.org/ticket/198 but the decoder seems to be in libavcodec and perian:
https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/tre...dec/lagarith.c
http://trac.perian.org/browser/ffmpe...dec/lagarith.c
isn't it?
