That is kind of something I've been wondering about.  I can see that
beta4 has just walked out the door (huzzah!!!) and I'll be spending
plenty of time testing it out over the next week or so.  However, I'm
wondering what the status of Joint stereo is at the moment?  Has it been
implemented in this beta release?  If not, is there a plan or have there
been any major snags in the implementation?

Asside from freeing up more bits for use in improving the signal
quality, does will joint stereo have any other effects like improved
stereo seperation?  I have a very hard time telling which of my ears is
hearing what, a problem I gather many if not most other audiophiles do
not have.

Oh well, just curious.  Congratulations on the new release.  I look
forward to trying it out when I get back from work.
