[vorbis] Updated OggDrop ?

[John Edwards]

Hi David,

It's really strange, I've had a few, and I do mean a few(!!) people complain
of the int/real number problem with the quality selection. What's strange
about it is that this seems to be a new problem and yet the code for this
hasn't changed in several versions!! Clearly I will have to give this some
attention. The other difficulty I have with this is that I don't see the
problem manifested on my system and yet at least one other person, with an
almost identical m/c and software configuration, does see the problem.

I'll check the VorbisGain decode issue you mention.

Lossless decoding support is built in for FLAC using the same routines that
are now incorporated in oggenc, plus decoding of LPAC and APE files is
accomplished using dlls that can be downloaded from Rarewares. To use this
feature, simply drop the files as normal.

I will have to give the quality int/real setting some serious attention.
Maybe you would be kind enough to perform quick tests for me on any revised
versions? As I said above, it's impossible for me to test as I don't see the
problem in the first place!!

regards

John
