Now we have two; competition is a good thing. Let's see which one is fastest :-) Completely overhauled psycha! Well, actually, the only big change is that it does all of its computations in the dB domain, and does some things just a little bit different, to improve performance. Changed the ATH_Bark_dB array. This removes some very annoying artifacts when encoding low-frequency, tonal sounds. MDCT_COOR: t...
