I've updated the "Introduction to compressed audio with Vorbis" tutorial
based on the many good corrections and suggestions I got here.
Changes were:
fixed range of 16bit samples (-32768 to 32767 rather than 0 to 65535)
added sentence on why 44.1KHz was chosen for CDs
added Sony's name as developer of CD format
wrong word ("Which" -> "While")
reworked CBR/ABR/VBR section with corrected info
added section on "Why Vorbis?"
sound quality is high
patent-free and open source
nice features (tagging, peelable, more than two channels)
added paragraph on ABX
mentioned that lossless stereo coupling kicks in at -q 5
put "transcoding" in quotes since it's a misnomer
Please give it another read, especially those of you with keen eyes. I'd
like to get it finalized and up on vorbis.com soon.
