Hi,

It's a bit offtopic for this list, but you might be able to help. For 
libvorbis rc3, what is the correct bitrate parametrization for the call 
vorbis_encode_init()?

For rc2, it worked calling it the following way:

vorbis_encode_init( &vorbisInfo,
                     2,                     // two channels
                     44100,                 // 44.1kHz
                     -1,
                     96000,                 // 96kb/s
                     -1 );

And this produced an Ogg Vorbis stream of about 80 kbps on average.

But in rc3, the above call produces a circa 240 kbps Ogg Vorbis stream 
(as reported by xmms). I tried putting 96000 in place of the -1 values, 
and also putting 96 instread of 96000, but no luck.

Any hints would be greatly apprieciated.
