Dear Tom & Aqualung crew:
I just wanted to praise you all for aqualung. My laptop has a fixed 48khz
sample rate and basically most 44.1 mp3s sounded pretty poor (ringing, etc)
using other mp3 decoders. I turned on best sinc interpolation in aqualung
and wow - I am enjoying my mp3/ogg collection for the first time on that
machine.
Not only that, but the jackd interface is working PERFECTLY - instead of
batch processing 44.1khz mp3s into wavs I now just slam them into an ardour2
(upsampling to 96khz) session and also just leave aqualung connected on an
ardour bus all the time for background listening while I'm working - or
playing along. I have not had a single crash of the previous release in
dozens of hours of listening.
Firing up a download now....
Many thanks for taking digital music to the next level. Probably AMD/Intel
should be thanking you too as best sinc EATS cpu....
now... about streaming.... :)

Aqualung 0.9beta7.1 has been released. This is an update to our
recent 0.9beta7 release, containing some important fixes to bugs
that were found as a result of the greater user coverage after the
release of 0.9beta7.
Aqualung is a cross-platform music player with lots of features.

(we are unable to update it ATM because of a several days long
SF.net shell outage, but the SF.net project page has the latest
downloadable files available).
The ChangeLog is attached below.
