New Version Of Ogg Audio Encoder
drapmeyer writes "Xiph.org has released a new version of the Ogg/Vorbis endocer: libOgg1.1.2 and libVorbis1.1.0. Point your browsers to the tarball for maximum excitement. Changes include several platform and build fixes, documentation for multiplexed streams, and other goodies.
Also look at rarewares."
This includes the forked aoTuv improvements, that gave Vorbis a big hand up in the 128kbps listening tests on the rareware site pointed to in the top. :)
It's a forking good thing that it's all open source, hey?
The story links to version 1.1.1 of libOgg, and tarballs for libOgg 1.1.2 and libVorbis 1.1.0 are nowhere to be found, not even on vorbis.com.
The aoTuV tunings have been found to be a large improvement. You can now use the standard Vorbis encoder again for top quality.
Most people in the scene have been using third party tunings and tweaks for a while, and this integration of the best 3rd party tuning results into the standard release after some intensive listening tests has been long awaited.
Here is the changelog:
libvorbis 1.1.0 (2004-09-22) -- "Xiph.Org libVorbis I 20040629"
* merges tuning improvements from Aoyumi's aoTuV with fixups
* new managed bitrate (CBR) mode support
* new vorbis_encoder_ctl() interface
* extensive documentation updates
* application/ogg mimetype is now official
* autotools cleanup from Thomas Vander Stichele
* SymbianOS build support from Colin Ward at CSIRO
* various bugfixes
* various packaging improvements
If your shed like device is not attached to the rest of the house, I suggest you stick the cat 5 in some PVC pipe or something, when you run it under ground
Oh.. and just be sure the nipple erecting area is close enough to the shed, I think the limit is like 100m or something.
Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.
