[MP3 ENCODER] VBR suggestions

[Gabriel Bouvigne]

*fast mode must be forbidden with vbr

*only accept 320k with higher settings, ie -V 0, like Xing

*use no lower limit in bitrate

*choosing bitrate like this:

if (frame.blocktype==short)
    bitrate=previous_frame.bitrate;
else
    bitrate=(previous_frame.bitrate)-1;

finished=false;

while (finished==false)
{
    try encoding;
    if (over always>over_limit)
        bitrate++;

    if (there are 2 over <=over_limit)
        bitrate--;

    else
        finished=true;

}


this would allow real VBR with full bitrate range, and beeing faster than
current algorithm
