Greetings,

With all the press concerning the 'almost 1.0' release of vorbis; I see a
lot of messages floating around as 'now 1.0, and -soon- it will include
joint-stereo, Wavelets, low-bitrate, peeling, etc. etc.'

Before I start 'advocating' vorbis and tell everybody what it all can do;
is there actually a date or some other planning when all those
already-in-the-format-but-not-yet-implemented features will be there.

I don't want to end up with a situation saying 'yes; it now can do
stereo; but the next version will have joint-stereo and allow a current
128 Kbps stream to be put into a 80 Kpbs stream'; when that 'next version'
is not due for more then a year.
I've never liked 'vaporware'; and -hence- I don't want to advocate it
myself. ;-)

Cheerio! Kr. Bonne.
