the are not longer in the dash menu
It appears so.
Dropping back to flashgot-1.5.5.95rc1.xpi does not bring them back.
Using a site like http://en.savefrom.net/ is only seeing "Audio MP4 128".
And I'm seeing in some cases, (dash) webm where it had always only been mp4 in the past.
"Small" (HE-AAC I suppose more generally) was fine, is fine, generally great, depending on use cases.
The only thing I find is that during playback, with most players, MPlayer included, if you jump through the track, you'll hear clips, chirps, when you jump.
That seems to be a fault in the decoder? Perhaps if you compiled with a better decoder, FhG I think it is, the issue wouldn't be there? But you cannot distribute pre-compiled binaries with FhG.
