Vorbis - Jul 2002 - RC4/1.0 and peeling

Yes.  All current oggs (since RC-2 or so) are peelable once the peeler is 
created.  Though I seem to remember hearing some rumblings about encoders 
being able to "hint" files to allow for better-quality peeling, but
I'm not
sure how much of a difference is really being talked about.

As far as I've heard, current oggs peeled to a certain quality will probably
sound comparable to one encoded directly to that quality.  Maybe identical, 
but I think that's what the hinting is for.

first, congrats to monty and the whole crew for getting
this close to 1.0. it's a monumental achievement reflecting
a huge amount of hard work -- kudos!

econd, i know the bitrate peeling feature has been pushed
back until after 1.0 is out. but i'm wondering -- will oggs
created with a 1.0 encoder be peelable with an as-yet-unreleased
utility, or do "peelable oggs" have to be created that way in
the first place? in other words, if peeling is the most important
feature for me, should i wait until a peeling-capable encoder is
out?

thanks,

SM
