Form the vorbis.com homepage:

"Ogg Vorbis does not compromise quality for freedom. Its stunning
quality is coupled with aggressive features like fast bitrate scaling,
surround channels, and fast sample-granularity seek and decode."

This makes me wonder...

-- What is "fast bitrate scaling"?
-- I've never seen anything in the source supporting surround channels.
-- I don't think Vorbis can do sample-gran seeks (yeah, sure, we can
   emulate it, but anyone can, and it's not implemented at this time).

I like Vorbis a lot, but this marketing blurb is, let's just say,
"weird".

Cheers,

Segher
