Yes, although the industry-wide lack of configuration control means that keeping track of coding changes is a difficult and thankless task, not made any easier if the coding is poorly structured or commented in the first place. In my own case, cataract progression hasn't made reading 'available' d

Can you refer me to a source of definitions for these pipeline arguments. For example, I don't know what "encoding-engine-quality=2!" means. Thanks. On Tue, Jan 5, 2010 at 4:56 PM, Tristan Hill wrote: > I'm using a gstreamer pipeline of > > audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lamemp3enc nam

This is really interesting. There are lots of posts about this on Ubuntu Forums. Look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=608034&highlight=vbr+mp3 Several of us are getting low quality cbr's no matter what we do with sound juicer. Jorns, however, replied that it worked just fine for

I tried it, except I changed vbr-max-bitrate=192 to vbr-max-bitrate=256. The cd ripped just fine, but Amarok reports a bitrate of 128 for all the tracks. This is something that's definitley broken in g-streamer as is well documented in the ubuntu forums, it's definitly not fixed, I don't know how
