[3]; * support of quality down to -2 (32kb/s at 44kHz stereo), versus -1 (45kb/s at 44kHz stereo) of libvorbis-1.1.x; * encoding speed 10% better thanks to the included Vorbis-OptSort patch (improve ordering loop); aoTuV Release 1 have just been releases. aoTuV Release 1 is the same as of beta4.51 (released on 2005-11), renamed after a lot of testing of the audio community (especially on hydrogenaudio forum [4]) and this is the reccomended vorbis encoder [5].
