Bitrate Peeling with Ogg Vorbis
Yort writes "Thought this might be interesting to some audiophile /.ers - there's been some discussion on the Ogg Vorbis lists, summarized in the most recent Ogg Traffic, about "bitrate peeling". In short, it's where you can simply "peel off" the high resolution data from the ends of an audio stream packet to come up with a smaller, lower quality stream. Brings up a number of geek-cool opportunities."
Wow, are you sure?
An internal sound card is worthless for listening to music
Ah, yes, I see what you mean.
Well, we'd better get on the case and let those millions of people around the world who think they're listening to music on their computers that they're not. I know I've been hallucinating for the past 3 years - I could have sworn that I listened to music using my internal sound card. I was so deluded that I thought it sounded fine to me. I bet those millions of other people thought so too.
The poor deranged fools.

PS. You know that JPEGs are useless for looking at graphics, too, right?
