LAME 3.12pre2 is now on the web page. It has a couple of great new
features:
CRC checksum now working! (Thanks to Johannes Overmann )
Erik de Castro Lopo's LIBSNDFILE now supported!
(http://www.zip.com.au/~erikd/libsndfile/)
With libsndfile, LAME can encode almost all sound formats. Albert
Faber did the work for this, including getting libsndfile running
under win32. However, I kludged it up so you could use libsndfile or
the original lame wav/pcm code, and in the process probably broke
LAME/win32.
More VBR bitrate allocation tuning, but I have not yet implemented
Gabriel's bit rate reduction algorithm.
frame analyzer will now work with mono .mp3 files
more code tweeks from Jan Peman.
Compaq-Alpha/Linux fixes and speedups from Nils Faerber.
