Agreed on these points: 320 CBR should be the same as 320 [AV]BR! I filed a bug instead of just making the change, because maybe someone has some objection.... feeedback welcome. BTW I didn't see a spec for lame's period over which the ABR is enforced. I would assume something small, like one second, in which case it should not impact the display of time remaining. -- seanadams _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
