Hello, I am about to encode a whole bunch of low-quality audio (it sounds like poor AM reception). I plan on asking for some suggestions on that shortly. But first I want to get the tools installed on my Debian system. Easiest, by far, would be to use the version that is part of the stable distribution, which is marked as 1.0rc3. I know there is a newer version, 1.0.0 available. (Indeed, it is part of the testing and unstable distributions. However, I would really prefer to not run things from testing or unstable.) For the purpose I have in mind, do I want 1.0.0, or is rc3 fine? I have looked around xiph.org, and can't find any list of what bugs were fixed. -Ben Blout --- >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.

You can also build it all yourself from the source in under a minute, and there's really no reason not to use 1.0. -Owen --- >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 built from orginal source tarballs (very easy; just ./configure && make && make install), then created some dummy packages with the equivs package to replace the 1.0rc3 versions, so as to keep dependencies happy. I'll email you the control files I used, if you like.> For the purpose I have in mind, do I want 1.0.0, or is rc3 fine?
