There is a hacked-binary version of LAME that just leaked (http://siokaos.org). The encoder, working on a specific .wav file that currently has a patent, writes MP3 files that can automatically update the firmware, of nearly all portable mp3 devices... giving (most of) them the ability to decode other mp3-like codecs such as MPC, MP3Plus, and some .ogg files. It works by adding corrupt data to the beginning of the stream, which causes the player to report an error... a lot like a buffer overrun. I am very impressed.

Very believable indeed. I sure was close to validate this news submissions yeah.. rolleyes.gif

For the most of the world April 1st was yesterday already... wink.gif

Since there's no hope anybody would actually believe that, it was probably just a masked attempt to advertize your site. smile.gif You have interesting hobbies though.
