Hello everyone,
I recently stumbled upon an issue in the encoder of the v1.0 SDK. At the end
of each encoding session a divide by zero (D=0) happens in
bark_noise_hybridmp (psy.c:642). This causes a crash on Win9x systems (WinNT
seems to handle this fine by using infinite as the result). My encoding code
is almost identical to the encoder_example, so I'm reasonably sure that this
is not a problem on the calling side.
After finding this error I tried the current CVS snapshot version and it
seems to work fine. So I guess this is a known bug that has been fixed.
My question now is: can the current CVS version be considered stable? If
not, is there another post-1.0 version that I could use? I'm on a deadline
and am a bit reluctant to include the most recent (less tested) code in our
application. So it would be nice if you guys could help me sleep better by
telling me which code is save to use.
Also, if I use a more recent encoder, should I also use updated decoder/ogg
stuff or will the v1.0 libraries still be compatible?
Thank you for your time,

> My question now is: can the current CVS version be considered stable?I'm not anyone who deals heavily with CVS, but it's my understanding that mainline CVS is not only considered stable, but is considered to be the "preferred" version of the tools. I think most unstable development work is done in branches, and merged into mainline CVS once everything is solid. -- Graham Mitchell - computer science teacher, Leander High School A girl and a boy bump into each other -- surely an accident.

We haven't had any previous reports of this causing actual crashes on win32 before, though, which is a little strange.> After finding this error I tried the current CVS snapshot version and it > seems to work fine.

It's definately recommended that you use it in preference to 1.0. libvorbis CVS head is bugfixes-only over 1.0, so there should be no problems at all. The decoder is entirely compatible, I don't think there have been any decoder changes in cvs since 1.0 - so you can safely use it, or keep the 1.0 release, it should make no difference.
