Hello all. I forwarded an email I sent to a package maintainer regarding the LAME port in Fink; I have not had a reply (perhaps I was seen as Junk mail). So, I thought I'd post on Fink-devel about it. I have noticed that the current version of LAME supported by Fink (in stable & unstable) is 3.93.1-11, which was released on 11/30/2002 (per lame.sf.net), while the current version of LAME is at 3.96.1.
Well, there doesn't appear to be a consensus amongst the audio experts on the 3.93.1 versus 3.96.1. Here are some threads on this:
http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=27650 http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=27870 http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=24002&hl=3\.90\.3+vs\.+3\.96
I would state that until there's a consensus from hydrogenaudio.org, then we don't upgrade. The other solution is to create a lame3.96 package which conflicts with lame.
Regards, Blair
