please refer to the darkice.cfg man page:

        quality
               The quality of encoding a value between 0.0 ..  1.0
               (e.g. 0.8), with 1.0 being the highest quality. Use
               a value greater than 0.0. Only used when cbr or vbr
               bit rate modes are specified.
