[vorbis] Choosing a processor

[JFurmankiewicz at STSSystems.com]

Well no, I don't do that, I just did it as a point to illustrate that
today's
computer speeds should be more than adequate to do real-time encoding.

I use W2K, so I can't comment on Linux-specific software, but without the
overhead
of X-Windows (since you seem to be running everything in command line) then
you
should get an even faster encoding time.

I can't help you though with any software on Linux that can do any real-time
encoding
of audio streams. I'm sure they have something on freshmeat under the
MP3/Ogg section.

That's good news :-) But are you able to do that while you are listening to 
it, I mean, can you have a CD in your CD-ROM drive and _listen_ to it 
_while_ ripping and encoding it?

I'm not too experienced in this field, as you see... :-)

Thank you for having taken the  time to tell me  about it,

Joane
