Testing for HF Boost in uncoupled stereo Options

[QuantumKnot]

I need some people to test out this special compile of oggenc where q 2 to 10 now all use uncoupled stereo. There is a theory that point stereo is causing high frequency reverberations to concentrate toward the centre, leading to a distinct 'boost.

Download the oggenc at http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....ndpost&p=179808

Test it on samples where you can distinctly hear the infamous high frequency boost in Vorbis, starting from q 2 and above, and compare with the official 1.0.1. Report your results here, describing:

- whether the HF boost is still there or not
- whether it has changed in nature, behaviour, etc.
- is it higher or lower?
- any other types of noise?
etc.

Please note that this oggenc is purely for testing only and the vendor tag has the word 'uncoupled'.
