While I applaud the technical acheivements of the Mono team, the day that significant numbers of developers can buy MS's development tool stack for next to nothing, develop their applications in Visual Studio and then just click a button to deploy to an array of cheap Linux servers running Apache/MySQL/Mono, is the day that I suspect MS will realise they've gone a little too far towards commoditising their own cash cows out of existence.

What they'd do about it is anyone's guess, but I suspect an organisation as paranoid as MS has already thought about this fairly carefully.

Could you let us know which setting this is? I sometimes think I can hear some distortion in the upper register even with LAME 192kbps VBR and would love to have a way to reduce it.
