Hello All,
I tested to ogg encoder, and must say I'm somewhat disappointed.
Hardly not to after all those "mp3 killer" messages at slashdot etc...
I did a quick listening test, and if this is what lame sounded like
last year, as Mark said, then it has come a _long_ way.
It totally devastates:

Severe masking errors (can hear multiple frequencies at once), and
filled with clippings and cracks.
Same with "normal" music, but less obvious of course.
I can only encourage the development of this patent-free encoder, but
am curious if all these flaws are inherent to the encoder model
(theorethical), or just alpha-implementation jitter.
I guess in a year or so when the severe bugs are out, one can only
assess then how far the psycho-accoustics will carry this one and if
it can reach up to the current standard of mp3 and alikes.
(for now in the role of http://www.r3mix.net webmaster)
good luck (no sarcasm, but sincere)
