LAME 3.33beta is now on the web page. The #define RH VBR code is
now the default, and with some recent improvments I think it is
much better. There is now an option "--athonly", which will disable the
masking from the psy-model and use just the ATH. This should
be usefull for testing the ATH, and might improve results
at bitrates >=256kbs?
I actually put 3.33 on the web page last night, in a rush, and left
out a few things, so in a couple of hours I am going to add LAME 3.34.

LAME 3.33beta:
Robert Hegemann: RH VBR mode now the default and only VBR mode. The new code will
always
quantize to 0 distortion and the quality is increased by reducing the masking from the
psy-model. -X0 is
still the default for now.
Robert Hegemann: new -X5 mode
Mathew Hendry: New timing code, removes the need for HAVETIMES
Mathew Hendry: assembler quantize_xrpow for Windows
Iwasa Kazmi: stdin/stdout patch for Windows
New option: "--athonly" will ignore the psy-model output and use only the absolute
threshold of hearing
for the masking.
