Re: [Lame-dev] Multithreaded/multicore LAME encoder idea with reservoir bit.

[Scott <sco...@gm...>]

Hi,

I stumbled on that about a week after I posted and figured I'd just quietly
disappear off the list rather than write about my red face/foot in mouth...
Oh well, it would have been cool.  512 cores is probably not too far off,
but I think it would take 2^511 to get the job done.  That's gonna be a
while.  :-)
