[vorbis] Vorbis 1.0 binary - Beta4 still the best?

[Zvezdan Dimitrijevic]

>> What did you test?

Mostly rock and blues. This is music that I listen every day, not test
sounds like the pink noise, sinus wave or similar.

>> What sounds wrong in the newer versions?

This is absence or attenuation of high frequencies. It is most
perceptible on tin percussions, cymbals and hi-hats. Also, sound has
noticeable stereo phase degradation.

I have a program for audio blind test, so I haven't prejudice about any
Vorbis version. As I wrote before, I was pretty satisfied with the
quality of Beta4 encoder. Because of that I like Vorbis format, and I
wish it will be even better.
