[Vorbis] Bitrate peeling

[Davy Van Deursen]

Hi all,

I recently started to study the Ogg Vorbis codec and found an interesting
feature called bitrate peeling [1]. Do you know where I can find more
information on this topic? E.g., how is the actual peeling being
implemented, what are the performance results in terms of resulting quality,
what are the requirements for bitrate peeling (can it be applied to any ogg
vorbis stream), ...?

Also, currently I am using the latest Ogg vorbis encoder from [2]. Are you
aware of any support for bitrate peeling options of this encoder?

Thanks and best regards,
