Brin and brun used to be pronounced as [bRE~] and
[bR9~], respectively.  As Christophe would be happy
to tell you if he were still on the list, that phonemic
pair has been lost in the course of the last century.
Nowadays, they are both pronounced [bRE~], so don't
feel compelled to hear a difference just because the
spelling would suggest so.
