Ying and yang.
Ying: The LAM release cycle is under way. After some struggle, I solved a bunch of issues with the build process that had to do with automake and bizarre timestamps. We're up to LAM 6.3.3b55.
Yang: In chatting with some Ogg/Vorbis developers on IRC this evening about some problems that I have been having, it turns out that doing a parallel Ogg/Vorbis encoder simply may not be possible due to the nature of the Ogg/Vorbis encoding algorithm.
More details to follow. I don't fully understand the encoding process, so I don't completely grok what they told me; need to sleep on it.
