[vorbis-dev] Idea for gapless tracks

[Shawn Pourchot]

Actually you can get the silence removed on MP3's if you encode using VBR
and use the FH VBRI table in the MP3 stream.  

This might be what the author was implying.  The silence is still in the
file but the header tells the application not to load it.  As far as I know
only Sonic Foundry Siren 2.0 encodes and takes advantage of this
information.

I don't either, but encode any WAV file in Ogg Vorbis and MP+, decode
them, and check the sizes.  The decoded .ogg file is the same length
as the original, but the decoded .mp+ isn't.  I tried it with the
lastest version of the MP+ encoder.
