I have noticed that when playing OGGs in Winamp, the bitrate displayed is always much higher than the average bitrate of the file. This was using the plugin that comes with Winamp v2.80 (v1.2 b7) For example, the latest oggenc encoded a song to 77kbps - I verified that this matched the filesize correctly. Apart from the first and last few seconds of the song, Winamp always displays between 85 - 103 kbps. This must be displaying the wrong value. (or maybe a peak bitrate between each screen update???) This could be misleading when taking OGG to the masses! Anyone else noticed this? <p> _______ /` ,--' + + Home: +44 20 8675 2776 / =#=#============[|=|] Cell: +44 79 00855 303 \______/ + + --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'vorbis-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.

I'm using Winamp 2.80, plugin 1.2 B19. The bitrate counter never goes below the nominal bitrate while there is sound aside from the first and last seconds, and at a part of total silence in the middle it drops just below the nominal bitrate. The average bitrate is 4kbps below the nominal, so it's not just a hard-to-encode file. Does PP read this list, or should one of us email him directly?
