missing files in headache 0.20?

[Rhaegar Targaryen]

The new 0.20pre package of Headache posted on doom9's front page appears to be missing "lame_alt.dll". The readme alludes to the fact this file should probably be included in the archive. Also, DarkAvenger, the 0.20pre file on your homepage is a corrupt 66KB file.

Note: I will assume "lame_alt.dll" is just the 3rd DLL from the 'hard-to-find' LAME DLL package and stick it in there, but maybe you should also include it in Headache.

Second Note about 0.20 to DarkAvenger:

"--alt-preset standard" appears to behave differently than the same switch in LAME 3.91 command line .exe.

With the HeadAC3hed' version of the file, bitrate range is 112 to 320, while the LAME.EXE'd version of the file is from 128 to 320. So the .exe made file is about 6kbps more in terms of overrall bitrate.

WhatsNew.txt states it, and the error message should also state it, but I haven't updated the readme.txt.

No, it is just a rar file.

With the HeadAC3hed' version of the file, bitrate range is 112 to 320, while the LAME.EXE'd version of the file is from 128 to 320. So the .exe made file is about 6kbps more in terms of overrall bitrate.

I don't think it is a mistake of HeadAC3he, but due to the compilation of the hacked dll (the ICL compile is known to make slightly bigger files). (Sure, you got it to work correctly?) I haven't tested extensively, as most of the time I ambusy coding. Please contact matter about this, maybe he finds something out. Other users are invited to test and report, as well!

Well, it's a pretty serious error because the Headache-created file is using a different bitrate *range* than the EXE-created file. Tangent can you comment?

What should the bitrate range for "--alt-preset standard" be?

If it's the DLL's fault, are there any alternative DLLs available?

[DarkAvenger]

Ok, I know why this is, the dll sets min bitrate to 128, and you cannot change this, unless you modify the source of the dll and recompile it. No wait, in the dll3's sources this is set to 112. I dunno why he set it differently in the dlls..
