Re: threaded mp3 encoder

    I work at Intel with a lot of the people who work on optimizing software. I
know at least a year ago we threaded LAME because we're big into multi-core
processors now. I thought they were going to give that threaded code back to
the LAME developers but maybe they didn't want it if the LAME versions out
there now aren't threaded (or maybe you have to build from source with a
special make flag to get the threaded version). It is possible though and I
think we were seeing good scaling out of it.
