Opus 1.2

Listening to the audio samples encoded by the recently-released Opus version 1.2. Try clicking on the MP3 at 32kb/s for comparison then switch back to Opus. Seems quite amazing what can be done with Opus at a measly 32 kb/s.

Great =)
Rather than quantizing to the closest value, the 1.2 encoder will now (only at higher complexity settings) actually try the two closest values and pick whichever minimizes distortion. It's not a huge gain, but when you add many of those, they add up to a significant improvement.
Nice.
