@johne53 it is preferable to keep a copy in Ardour's source tree for various reasons: The AAF API/ABI keeps changing, and updating libAAF also requires updating Ardour's source. Furthermore upstream...

It just seems rather fragile, specifically with an `int size` in the API. Why not a `size_t`? (IMHO the function should do a NULL termination check, rather than requiring the...
