I checked, it is a beta. # cat CHANGES libmad - MPEG audio decoder library Copyright (C) 2000-2004 Underbit Technologies, Inc. $Id: CHANGES,v 1.14 2004/02/17 02:02:03 rob Exp $ =============================================================================== Version 0.15.1 (beta) * Updated to autoconf 2.59, automake 1.8.2, libtool 1.5.2. * Replaced Layer III IMDCT routine with one based on a faster * algorithm, improving both speed and accuracy. * Improved portability of the Huffman table * initialization. * Fixed a problem that could result in an assertion * failure in layer3.c due to an invalid Layer III free format bitrate. * Improved the robustness of Layer II bitrate/mode * combinations, and added a new MAD_ERROR_BADMODE error enum. The allowability of low-bitrate stereo streams is influenced by the --enable-strict-iso option to `configure'. Chris Bennett
