[vorbis] Found a problem-sample

[Maik Merten]

Hello,

I found a sample RC3 seems to have problems with.

http://metalbanner.virtualave.net/answer.wav   (884 KB)

Artist: Blind Guardian
Album: A Night At The Opera
Song: Wait For An Answer

<p>Just listen for the metallic sound quickly jumping from one side of the 
stereo-image to the other (seriously bad english, I know...).

At quality levels < 4 the sound seems to be moved to the center and it 
"feels" much more "rough"/"unclean" (I'm not a "professional" 
test-listener so my expressions could seem a bit - strange ;-)

Due to my cheap equipment/ears I can't properly detect this artifact in 
encodings >= -q 4. Nevertheless I'm quite optimistic that more 
experienced listeners can easily hear it.

BTW, are there any pre-RC4 versions available with audible improvents 
over RC3?

bye,

Maik Merten
