I do not know, what ears you have but IF I edit a mp3 of 128kBit
directly with the same methods I edit a shn file, I can hear the
difference. (I know many peoples from LAD/LAU which can hear it)
I think, all peoples with feeling for classic can it.
My prefered ones are wav but distributing aound 2 hours of sound
sources will fill 1 1/2 CD's, maybe one since wav can be "good"
compressed.

OK, but will be Debian be willing, to distribute a 100% GPL 2.0
Game of (I think)currently 78 binaries of 500 MByte in summary
plus over 3 GByte of sources?
Which mean, this game need a CD for its own and a DVD to distribute
the Source...
And currently I create some new weapons but the source of "sunburn"
for example is around 70 MBytes including the sound effects plus a
real Video of 480 MByte as source which will be converted to a OGM
to around 30 MByte.
I have already managed that the DEMO videos of the Weapons are in
seperated Debian-Packages... so no one must download 800 MByte
extras.
Note: It is a action/strategic game like "Fleet Command"
with real existing weapons and conflicts...
I do not know, when it will be ready, since we have
performance problems and to many bugs and crashes.
Thanks, Greetings and nice Day
