Tord is going to release the source code later in the year very probably.
He also makes a comment about floating point accuracy of the code. He
claims some compilers produce dud floating point code when different sorts
of optimizations are used, and that this can lead to distortion:
QUOTE
The result is that MP3 files encoded with a bad binary includes some kind
of low frequency phasing sound that might be hard to spot, but is very
disturbing in the long run
UNQUOTE
He says that in his released code, he will include a routine which will
checksum the floating point operations and tell you whether the FP
routines produced by your compiler are up to scratch.
that's all from me. 2 assignments and 2 job interviews this week.
later
