I'm not sure if "effective" offers much description, as more than the adaptive adjustment routines change the effective level of the ATH. However, "atoq" could mean the same as "ath", so a different prefix seems reasonable. Just pulling up the source, suggests something like "aaath", but we can just drop the letter for "absolute", and tag the letter(s) representing "adaptive / auto-leveling / auto-adjusting / adaptive adjusting" to the end to get "tha" or "thaa". Since the original comment in "encoder.c" refers to "auto-adjust", the prefix "thaa" seems to fit well. (Also, the anagram of "tha" may be confused with "ath" by those with dyslectic tendencies.) > > the "--adapt-thres-*" switches.

Thanks for the feedback. Kind regards, - John _______________________________________________ mp3encoder mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://minnie.tuhs.org/mailman/listinfo/mp3encoder
