lame 3.13 is now on the web page.
I few minor enhancements since the last pre release:
Patches for BeOS from Gertjan van Ratingen.
Makefile info for OS/2 Warp 4.0 (from dink.org)
Status display now based on wall clock time, not cpu time.
mem_alloc no longer allocates twice as much memory as needed (Jan Peman)
Plus a few new options to play with:
-X subtract 5db from all masking thresholds. The masking thresholds
are often too aggressive, causing problems like audible distortion
even with -V 0. Subtracting 5db from the ISO psy model is actually
recommended in "Application of a physiological ear model..."
by Frank Baumgarte (page 6):

-Y LAME will try to use scalefac_scale. this allows for a bigger range
of scalefactors. (The larger the scalefactor in a given band, the
more bits it is allocated during quantization).
-Z when comparing two quantizations with the same value of "over", it
will take the one with the least "noise". noise is the average
over all bands of (xfsf-l3_xmin), where xfsf = quantization distortion
and l3_xmin = allowed distortion. Gabriel suggested using the
audition threshold instead of l3_xmin, but I dont have this coded
yet. -Z may not be fully debugged.
