Great. The click between the tracks is pretty small, so this fix should
get it right. Another advantage over ALL other codecs! :)

I was browsing through pages on www.mp3licensing.com , and
there is a list of patents held by Thomson MM & FhG IIS (tons of it).
It looks impossible to write a codec without breaking some of their
patents?
