11.  bug in resample code:  downsampling from 44101 to 44100 causes
2    a seg fault.  Workaround in place for now:  resampling disabled
3    if input/output samplerates agree to 4 digits.

62.  high bitrate encodings have trouble on some hardware players.
7    Track this down.  Probably caused by --strictly-enforce-ISO and
8    IXMAX_VAL.  Try setting IXMAX_VAL back to 8191 and/or
9    maxmp3buf=8*960 to see if there is a working combination.
10
11    note: one of the decoder bugs was identified. It is caused by using
12    different block sizes on both channels. A parameter need to be
13    added to Lame to handle workarounds.
14
15
163   frontend: code is a complete mess. But it has so many debugged
17    features it will be a lot of work to re-write.

204.  MSVC project files.  It would be nice to create a working
21    MSVC6 workspace, which included all the projects as possible
22    targets:
23          lame.exe
24          mp3x.exe   (require GTK libs)
25          lame_enc.dll
26          ACM codec
27          directshow codec
28
29    I think the only MSVC5 project that we need to preserve is
30    for lame_enc.dll, since Albert Faber (still?) doesn't use VC6?
31    But no reason we cant have VC5 and VC6 project files for the dll.
32
33
345.  NOGAP encoding:
35
36    -nogap:  more testing, fix options, test id3 tags?
37    Can we change id3 tags without reseting the encoder??
38    At the end of encoding 1.wav, call lame_get_mf_samples_to_encode()
39    to find the number of non encoded buffered PCM samples.  Then
40    encode samples from 2.wav until these PCM samples have been
41    encoded, *THEN* call lame_encode_flush_nogap() and close
42    out file 1.mp3.
43
44
45    NOGAP decoding:
46    lame --decode --nogap file1.mp3 file2.mp3 file3.mp3
47    should also work.  What needs to be done:
48    get_audio.c:  We need a way to open a second mp3 file, without
49                  calling lame_decode_init() and reinitializing mpglib.
50                  And the mpglib needs to know to look for new Xing
51                  tags at the beginning of file2.mp3 and file3.mp3.
52
53
546.  Does stdin work when LAME is compiled to use libsndfile?
55    (new version of libsndfile will support this - try this out)
56
57
587.  LAME has problems with pure DC input.  i.e. a square wave with
59    a frequency well below 20 Hz.  Not very important, but it should
60    be fixed.
61
62
638.  mgplib has bugs with i-stereo.  flag denoting invalid
64    i-stereo value (= frame is m/s stereo) is not correct.
65
66
679.  lowpass filter: for M/S stereo, use more filtering for the side
68    channel, less filtering for mid channel.  We need to first replace
69    the polyphase filter with an FIR lowpass filter with finer frequency
70    resolution before implementing this.
71
72
7310. LAME has a 31 point FIR filter used for resampling, which
74    can also be used as a lowpass.  When resampling is done,
75    use that filter to also lowpass instead of the polyphase filter.
76
77
7811. Even when resampling is not needed, should we use an FIR filter
79    for the lowpass?  If it is not too much slower, yes.  If it
80    is slower, then it should be an option since it will produce
81    higher quality.
82
83
8412. We should consider moving the experts options from the *long
85    help* text into an *experts only* help text. The average Joe gets
86    knocked down by the huge number of possibilities to setup lame.
87
88
89
9050. Better tonality estimation.
91    Gpsycho uses predictability, and so needs a delay to detect the tonality
92    of a sound.
93    Nspsytune seems to miss tonals when several of them are too narrow.
94    We would probably need the best of both.
95
96
97
9860. Different ATH handling for sfb21. We are using the minimum value of ath
99    in each whole sfb. in sfb21 this leads to very high bitrates.
100    We could perhaps use 2 or 3 ath partitions in sfb21
101
102    note: partially done
103
104
105
10670. Use mixed blocks.
107
108
109
11090. Use intensity stereo. This is a must-have for low bitrates, but if the
111    algorythm is very good it could also be used in every case.
112    Note: mpg123 (and all derivatives, like xmms and lame/mpglib)
113    have bugs in the intensity stereo decoding.  Bugs have been there
114    for years since there are very few intensity stereo mp3's out there.
115
116
117
11895. Merge GOGO's fast assembler routines.
119
120
121
12296. It would be nice to save some information whilst encoding
123    a: wave -> mp3
124        a RIFF/wave can contain LIST chunks with information
125        about author, title, etc.
126        ==> could go into TAG fields of resulting mp3
127    b: mp3 -> mp3
128        ==> we could copy the TAG directly
129    c: mp3 -> wave
130        ==> copy TAG into LIST chunk
131
132
133
13497. Integrate plusV extensions
135
136
137
13899. To be able to encode as fast as FastEnc
