Most concerns seem to go into the quality and filesize direction, so if
it got a lot better the information should be spread somehow.

Postfish was an app I simply decided I had no
time to do justice. I
never got as far as JACKifying it (at the time, JACK didn't seem to
want to run on any of my systems for more than about thirty seconds
without crashing) and it needs an automation interface to make it
useful as a monolithic effects bank. JACKing it would be easy, but
between a few bugs in the 'analog' sections that I never got around to
fixing, the challenge of an automation interface, and taking on
another project that would require supporting a large userbase, I
decided it wasn't something I had time for. I just use it myself and
never released it.
A few of the Audacity old-timers still use it, but it's been
unmaintained for around six years.
funny. i've been following the xiph svn tree for a while, to get the
latest theora stuff, and judging from the name, i always thought
postfish was some arcane brainchild of conrad parker's :-D never
compiled it, though...
huge kudos for the theora development, btw. last time i used it was lac
2009, and the quantum leap in quality and efficiency was really really
amazing. if only we could convince those industry dorks to make it a
mandatory part of html5...

submarine patent threat")
