Re: OGG

[Aaron Kenney <awkenney@sbcglobal.net>]

Here's a crazy question, but how does one know if the sound is 
simplistic or not? When it comes to music, is not the less complex 
section just as important as the complex section? So there should at 
least be a minimum bit rate?
So... we use more bits to describe something with a higher, louder 
pitch, but less bits for lower, softer pitch (due to waveform)? Is that 
right? But I think my most important question is, are we sacking the 
quality of the softer, lower pitches at all by using VBR? Or would the 
quality just kind of balance out?
