LAME 3995o

2019-06-20

halb27s modified lame 3.99.5. It's an extension to Lame 3.99.5 which offers an additional constraint vbr mode option --cvbr x, x from 1 to 10, fractional values allowed, to be used additionally to standard VBR option -Vn. Constrained vbr mode means bitrate is controlled not to go too low. It comes at the cost of an increased average bitrate. This extra cost can be kept very low (down to 0%), while offering remarkable quality improvement for special issues. Incorporates bug-fixed FastCRC patch. Intel 19, 32 and 64 bit compiles.
