Anyone know if the new WS2812B strips, from Ray Wu, are compatible with the WS2811 chipset? Meaning should they work out of the box with the brilliant OctoWS2811 library? Apparently this WS2812B chip is an upgraded version of the WS2811. Here are some comments I've found about what's changed with this new version...

Note: on this category page for WS2812B products, Ray Wu has four different listings for DMX to SPI products, two of which are listed as ws2801 compatible and two others for ws2811. This leads me to believe that the ws2812B chips are compatible, though I'm also confused as that seems to indicate that the ws2811 and ws2810 are not... so.. huh.
Side note: this is interesting -> http://www.aliexpress.com/store/pro...ze-17cm-17cm-DC5V-input/701799_825283258.html
