- 1. bug in resample code: downsampling from 44101 to 44100 causes
- a seg fault. Workaround in place for now: resampling disabled
- if input/output samplerates agree to 4 digits.
-
-
-
- 2. high bitrate encodings have trouble on some hardware players.
- Track this down. Probably caused by --strictly-enforce-ISO and
- IXMAX_VAL. Try setting IXMAX_VAL back to 8191 and/or
- maxmp3buf=8*960 to see if there is a working combination.
-
- note: one of the decoder bugs was identified. It is caused by using
- different block sizes on both channels. A parameter need to be
- added to Lame to handle workarounds.
-
-
- 3 frontend: code is a complete mess. But it has so many debugged
- features it will be a lot of work to re-write.
-
-
- 4. MSVC project files. It would be nice to create a working
- MSVC6 workspace, which included all the projects as possible
- targets:
- lame.exe
- mp3x.exe (require GTK libs)
- lame_enc.dll
- ACM codec
- directshow codec
-
- I think the only MSVC5 project that we need to preserve is
- for lame_enc.dll, since Albert Faber (still?) doesn't use VC6?
- But no reason we cant have VC5 and VC6 project files for the dll.

- NOGAP encoding:
-
- -nogap: more testing, fix options, test id3 tags?
- Can we change id3 tags without reseting the encoder??
- At the end of encoding 1.wav, call lame_get_mf_samples_to_encode()
- to find the number of non encoded buffered PCM samples. Then
- encode samples from 2.wav until these PCM samples have been
- encoded, *THEN* call lame_encode_flush_nogap() and close
- out file 1.mp3.
-
-
- NOGAP decoding:
- lame --decode --nogap file1.mp3 file2.mp3 file3.mp3
- should also work. What needs to be done:
- get_audio.c: We need a way to open a second mp3 file, without
- calling lame_decode_init() and reinitializing mpglib.
- And the mpglib needs to know to look for new Xing
- tags at the beginning of file2.mp3 and file3.mp3.

- Does stdin work when LAME is compiled to use libsndfile?
- (new version of libsndfile will support this - try this out)
-
-
- 7.
- LAME has problems with pure DC input. i.e. a square wave with
- a frequency well below 20 Hz. Not very important, but it should
- be fixed.
-
-
- 8.
- mgplib has bugs with i-stereo. flag denoting invalid
- i-stereo value (= frame is m/s stereo) is not correct.
-
- 9.
- lowpass filter: for M/S stereo, use more filtering for the side
- channel, less filtering for mid channel. We need to first replace
- the polyphase filter with an FIR lowpass filter with finer frequency
- resolution before implementing this.
-
- 10.
- LAME has a 31 point FIR filter used for resampling, which
- can also be used as a lowpass. When resampling is done,
- use that filter to also lowpass instead of the polyphase filter.
-
- 11.
- Even when resampling is not needed, should we use an FIR filter
- for the lowpass? If it is not too much slower, yes. If it
- is slower, then it should be an option since it will produce
- higher quality.
-
- 12.
- We should consider moving the experts options from the *long
- help* text into an *experts only* help text. The average Joe gets
- knocked down by the huge number of possibilities to setup lame.

- Better tonality estimation.
- Gpsycho uses predictability, and so needs a delay to detect the tonality
- of a sound.
- Nspsytune seems to miss tonals when several of them are too narrow.
- We would probably need the best of both.
-

- Different ATH handling for sfb21. We are using the minimum value of ath
- in each whole sfb. in sfb21 this leads to very high bitrates.
- We could perhaps use 2 or 3 ath partitions in sfb21
-
- note: partially done

- Use mixed blocks.

- Use intensity stereo. This is a must-have for low bitrates, but if the
- algorythm is very good it could also be used in every case.
- Note: mpg123 (and all derivatives, like xmms and lame/mpglib)
- have bugs in the intensity stereo decoding. Bugs have been there
- for years since there are very few intensity stereo mp3's out there.

- It would be nice to save some information whilst encoding
- a: wave -> mp3
- a RIFF/wave can contain LIST chunks with information
- about author, title, etc.
- ==> could go into TAG fields of resulting mp3
- b: mp3 -> mp3
- ==> we could copy the TAG directly
- c: mp3 -> wave
- ==> copy TAG into LIST chunk
