yeah the chnage is not entered in the change log.. it helps in achieving better compression for 24 bit files.. an i think it came in as a mistake cvs merge in 1.2.1 encoder .. neways i think Josh's( jcoalson ) reply on this thread is helpfull http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/lofiversion/index.php/t57624.html my guess is u r not using 24 bit files thts why older decoder is able to decode it.. an then again not all 24 bit files will make use of that enhacement :)
