VLC needs help!

Guys, below is a request for help for the excellent Mac OS X player. See if you can help them out. It's way above my head. :)

-----------------
At the moment we have several critical issues in audio and video that HAVE to be fixed for a new release. If anyone would care to assist, then we would be very much obliged.

- There is a first attempt at an auhal renderer. We need this because our current coreaudio module is and always has been broken. Continuing OSX upgrades however made the effects of it worse and worse. Currently the auhal renderer callback is not functioning. If you have experience in this area it is probably easy to fix. http://developers.videolan.org/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/changeset/11020 & https://developers.videolan.org/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/ticket/12

When this is fixed we still need to rewrite the digital audio renderer in CoreAudio (since this cannot be handled in AUHAL).

- there is an issue with the opengl renderer that sometimes crashes on OS X systems with Nvidia boards. See crashlog 2 of https://developers.videolan.org/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/ticket/45

- there is an issue with the quickdraw renderer in OSX Tiger 10.4 It crashes when drawing the window titlebar when you return from fullscreen to windowed mode. This crash may also occur with the opengl renderer, but this is currently uncertain. (this renderer should be replaced with a Quartz 2D renderer anyways, but this is on a very long TODO list.)

If anyone is able to assist with any of these problems, please contact us on IRC (http://www.videolan.org/cgi-bin/irc/irc.cgi), the mailinglist, the fora (http://forum.videolan.org) or here.

thank you for listening,
Derk-Jan Hartman
VLC Mac OS X Developer.
