[vorbis-dev] Parallelism

[Gregory Maxwell]

Because it's trivial to parallelize vorbis effectively for all
sensible workloads using pmake and the stock encoder. Why burden the
software when it's still under active development.

If you really have a reason to want this feature, then you have enough of
a reason to code it yourself.
