[vorbis-dev] Re: Major quality decrease in RC3 compared to RC2

[Sven Over]

Thank you all for the answers to my silly question. You *really* solved my 
problem... more than that.

Yea, I see. 

Now that I know, that my use of -b was wrong, I made some testing, using some 
different values for -q. Just let me say: with your development of an audio 
codec, you are beyond mp3! Ogg is definitely better! Even with -q 1 (which 
resulted in an avg bitrate of 85 kbit/s with my full version of joy.wav) I 
got really good results. My Athlon-750 reached a decoding rate of around 3. I 
did not get lame to produce such a good output with such a low bitrate. Lame 
was even a lot slower (not even real-time).

As soon as you know ogg vorbis, you know that mp3 sucks!

Keep up with the good work!
