Ogg Vorbis 1.0

Posted by michael on from the bog-vigors dept.

uvasmith writes "According to the Ogg Vorbis website... Release 1.0 is now ready and tagged as 'vorbis1_0_public_release' in CVS. This is a full release of a 1.0 encoder, decoder and tool set. The encoder, decoder and tools now implement all Vorbis 1.0 specification features including low-bitrate, cascading and channel coupling." Update: 07/19 17:05 GMT by C :It seems someone jumped the gun a bit in mentioning the release, but now it's official! Check out the download page, the letter from their CEO and (if you wish) cough up a few bucks at the donation page! For those audiophiles among us, you can check out a side-by-side audio comparison here. Oh, and don't forget the free music!

      Whooah hold on, Goobers gave us something else to call rednecks! We may have to switch over to that if they ever form an anti-defamation league because of Walmart's selling of Linux boxes!

    "Hello. This is slashdot, calling to say that we're about to flood your servers with the legion of well-trained trolls that we keep penned up inside the SlashHouse. Would you be so kind as to call back when your release is complete, so that we won't prevent it from happening? Otherwise, all your servers are belong to us."

    Nah ... that would be just too easy.
