MAD 0.11.4b is now available.
Highlights include:
- Free format bitrate discovery is now working.
- There is now a Sun/NeXT 8-bit mu-law audio file output module.
- The OSS module now supports 32-bit output if also supported by your sound card and the version of OSS on your system.
- The output sample frequency match requirement has been relaxed. (Thanks to Dominic for suggesting a fix.)
- An endian assumption problem in audio_sun.c is fixed. (Thanks to Simon Burge for discovering this.)
- Some changes affecting SSO have been implemented, courtesy of Nicolas Pitre.
- A small patch to imdct_l_arm.S for a.out compatibility has been applied, courtesy of Simon Burge.
As a result of Nicolas's SSO changes, SSO now produces fully compliant, not limited accuracy, output. The trick was to do some extra rounding and shifting at compile-time, instead of shifting-only at run-time.
SSO is also faster now as a result, even slightly faster than the default configuration for ARM, so it can be enabled with --enable-speed now on all architectures.
