mp3 compression audio has some mode when is stored, these are related to the
way on which sound (channels) are stored.  People usually use default mode,
wich is Join-Stereo <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_stereo>, but there
are others like Dual-Channel and Stereo.  Depending on the quality of the
original sound, there will be a lot of differences between Stereo and
Join-Stereo.  Usually you will notice this on songs that have effects on
left and right channels.

So, a good way to know if the mp3 file was encoded with a better sound, is
to know wich mode it is using.

i set up SoundJoicer using pipes with mode=Stereo and bitrate=320, in order
to encode my albums with the best quality posible with mp3.  there are other
usefull information on: gst-inspect-0.10 lame.

XMMS does show that feature and i think Audacious does too.

do i have to post this on bugzilla anyway?
