[vorbis] masking problems in Vorbis beta?

[Martin Reinecke]

Hi all,

I just came across the following page: http://r3mix.net
In the "News" section there is a fairly negative critique of Vorbis;
especially it is mentioned that Vorbis "has terrible masking
problems". There is also a Vorbis-encoded frequency sweep
which shows strong deficiencies at high frequencies, but
I suppose this is due to the quite low bitrate of the
distributed encoder.

I would be glad if one of the Vorbis insiders could comment
on that critique. Does the guy have a point or are the problems
caused by the low bitrate?

Happy hacking,
  Martin Reinecke
