Someone recently asked me about the de-emphasis option in LAME
(and presumably other iso based encoders).

There are three options:

  n = (none, default)
  5 = 0/15 microseconds
  c = citt j.17

But all the code does is set a flag and write it to the bitstream.
I'm guessing that if you have a PCM input file where one of the above
types of de-emphasis has been applied, you can set this flag in the encoder.
Then the mp3 decoder will "undo" the de-emphasis during playback.

Does any one use this, or know what it is supposed to do?  
FhG and Xing dont seem to have this option.  Any objections if
I remove it from LAME?
