It is true that joint stereo can give better results, but it is also true
that it is just another algorithum that can go wrong. Look at the LAME
change log for example, there have been some minor bugs in JS.
I think JS got a bad name from Xing and their whacked out implementation.
Xing JS can introduce all kinds of phase other strange errors that other
encoders never seem to have a problem with.

Subject: Re: [MP3 ENCODER] LAME in the PRESS
I wonder where the myth that joint stereo would somehow adversely affect
quality comes from. Was it the web pages from the BladeEnc guy? I
don't know. Anyway, joint stereo does not make the signal and worse, it
just allows for a better bandwidth use because on most signals the bulk
of the sound is equal on both channels. With joint stereo, this part is
only encoded once for both channels, so this is a good thing. ...
