[Audacity-devel] BladeEnc API usage

[Leland <le...@au...>]

Back in 2007, I'd brought up the question of why we use the BladeEnc API 
on Windows and if we should still be using it.  Apparently I let the 
conversation drop (or just forgot) because we're still using the 
BladeEnc API.  This isn't a bad thing, but it does make the coding of 
the MP3 exporter a bit more difficult for no apparent benefit.

The reason I bring it back up is because I need to modify the exporter 
to correct the VBR encoding issue and it'll have to handled differently 
between Windows and the rest.  Jettisoning the Blade code would make it 
easier and we'd be able to have consistent encoding results between the 
different environments.

Waiting to do the VBR fix...
