In many cases, the concatenation works even if the bitrate does not correspond (correct me if I am wrong). In some cases (ffmepg) the bitrate is not given in the ogg-header. Therefor I ignore the failing bitrate-test. The test is actually only done for channels and sample rate.

encoding each audio part, i.e with
oggdec audo_*.ogg
oggenc audio_*.wav

oggJoin produces a file that sounds ok;
it still does not work with oggJoin though.

if i run oggdec/oggenc on audio.ogg oggJoin works.
