[vorbis] Participate in listening tests

[Mark de Bokx]

Do you guys take the comments of Microsoft in consideration (eg that the
comparison is apples and peares instead of apples and apples?. I got flamed
severly for stating my interest in Open Source (OGG) and my anti-DMCA
stance...so you're warned :) Keep up the good work by the way :) 

Regards,

Mark

There is no deadline.  The tests can run indefinitely unless answers or 
comments leak out.  I will periodically release statistical results, but 
the comments on the sound will remain undisclosed until the tests are
closed.

So here are some statistical results for wayitis.wav.  There are very few 
listeners at this point, and the type of analysis makes some assumptions 
which may not be warranted, so I'd interpret these results as being a 
suggestion of what the final results might look like rather than swallowing 
it whole without qualification.
