Description
When the constrained VBR reservoir becomes negative, the reference returns those bits to the current frame (
celt_encoder.c):pion would simply clamp to zero and lose them. A negative reservoir means that previous frames spent less than the target rate, so this loop is precisely what keeps the average at the target; without it, the mode falls short and never recovers.
Measurement
Constrained VBR over 60 seconds of music, against
opus_demo restricted-celt -cvbr:The other modes remain unchanged, verified: CBR 7.0676 and 15.0721 dB, unrestricted VBR 6.3886 and 15.0756, identical to before the change.
Mode Status
With this, all four paths are now on par with the reference on the same material:
