Hi all,

I need to choose a decoder for the MP3 module in Omni Encoder 2. I'd like it to be a DLL, and ideally it will support lame's header for correct padding.


Questions:

* Lame_enc.dll : i assume this thing is encoding only? I haven't trawled the header files yet, but the docs don't seem to support decoding (nor does the file name )

* mpglib.dll - this is what Lame uses, but not a current version (as is my understanding). Any caveats to using this? Did the lame header patch ever make it into the main tree?

* MAD.dll - is this still considered the best? what about lame decoder padding?

Any others you can recommend? What about performance?

I think mpglib has been considered better then mad for at least as long as HA existed.

That said, both are good enough that I doubt it really matters.
