Site is http://www.8hz.com . They will release source at 31 th May for developers. The original source is based on ISO MPEG Simulation group Dist 10 and it is pretty bad (in my opinion and many others feel the same way). Their comment was, quote: "As soon as we clean up the code, so 'normal' people may look at it without loosing their sight and sanity :) we will make the source of 8hz-mp3 available" I think You should at least mention them in Open Source news. - Lassi
