Patched libopus internals to push past the reference encoder's limits
A source-level fork of Xiph's reference libopus (1.4), reverse-engineering the encoder internals across both sub-codecs — SILK for speech, CELT for music — to strip out the built-in safety limiters: the hard soft-clipper, saturators, fixed bitrate caps, and bandwidth/sample-rate constraints, rebuilt as a Windows DLL. The point was pushing encoder fidelity further than the reference implementation allows while keeping the bitstream itself decodable by any standard Opus decoder.
