And what happen to freedom of choice I want auto khz and full stereo as Joint Stereo is crap.
LAME “Joint Stereo” means that the encoder will automatically switch between M/S and L/R stereo depending on what’s better suited for the content and can switch between the two within a track. There is no quality benefit forcing L/R stereo. I wrote more about that here: Joint Stereo vs Stereo · audacity/audacity · Discussion #4940 · GitHub
