<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>> <BR>> > |the linux version still
has a problem :<BR>> > |resampling does not work,<BR>> >

samplerate, but i think below that<BR>> > the encoder soon requires lower
samplerates as well.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>i did some more testing with
shoutcast~.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>in fact, the situation's not so bad, resampling
will work </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>for the values accepted by lame,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>these allowed combinations of samplerate/bitrate
are :</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>be aware that if you use higher samplerates, you'll
need more CPU power.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also, about quality factor, here are the values to
use :</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><STRONG></STRONG></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><STRONG>ALLOWED QUALITY FACTOR
:</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><STRONG> -q
<arg> <arg> = 0...9.
Default -q 5
<BR>
-q 0: Highest quality, very slow
<BR>
-q 9: Poor quality, but fast <BR>
-h
Same as -q 2. Recommended.<BR>
-f
Same as -q 7. Fast, ok quality</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>so, -f stands for quality 7, and the higher is this
factor,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>the poorer is the quality.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>these informations are taken from lame's
3.89 man page.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
