Even though the 1.0 source code has been frozen for few days, we are still waiting for the official Vorbis 1.0 announcement that was expected to be published on last Sunday. There has been some last minute tunings to the codec, but the main reason for delays is that the specifications of the format are still worked on. So basically they are just finalizing and want to publish a complete package. Expect the announcement any minute (I hope…).
In the mean time Vorbis has participated in an audio compressor test performed by the trustworthy Chip.de and it turned out to be a winner. Open-source was the word for top codecs as Vorbis and LAME MP3 Encoder collected the biggest praises above Fraunhofer MP3 encoder, MP3 Pro and WMA.
