The psychoacoustic model is, broadly speaking, the simulation that the
encoder does of our auditory system (and our perception of what we hear).
The better we can model the auditory system, the better we know what matters
and what doesn't in a given piece of music/audio and what we can discard so
that we use the limited space for audio for that.

Robert is fine-tuning that critical part of LAME, which means that HEAD is
not releasable in his words.

Great that you guys like it. :)

I took a look at some of their patches (which I could have sworn to have
applied before), but I bumped into this one:

   https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=454322

Which is reported here:

   http://sourceforge.net/p/lame/bugs/436/

Don't we have this problem on Debian also? I would have thought that we
would have had something like that, given that we compile tinfo separetely
from ncurses (or something like that).


Thanks,
