Hi

There is first freeware, oops I mean Open Source MP3 encoder for Linux
(and many other OSes). 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.
