[vorbis] Fwd: Re: Clarification on pshycho-acoustic in Vorbis (your non-MP3 guide)

[Beni Cherniavksy]

After reading http://mp3.radified.com/mp3.htm I sent Rad an explanation of
some things as I understand them.  He liked it and posted it on his site
(still unlinked, use the URL below).  Can somebody with better
understanding of psycho-acoustic terms and the vorbis model check it and
comment on it?  In particular I didn't know how vorbis handles
quantization noise.  If you reply with corrections, CC:
<Rad at radified.com>.
