I just merged monty_branch_20000524 onto the vorbis mainline. This has numerous quality improvements and fixes... upshot should be the best sounding Vorbis yet with a nominal average bitrate of 110-128 kbps. I have a few API changes and mode descriptions left to write for beta release which we're currently shooting for on the 20th. The default encoding mode is based on the mode description I just merged-- try it out and let me know if and where it falls flat.
