Sure. This was actually something I had intended on at one point, but
forgot about (and never particularly wanted to use - if I had, I would have
remembered...)

I'll add it in soon. Of course, ideally you want a vorbis-diff program
which just runs (the equivalent of) diff on the raw vorbis packets - not
hard. The feature is of use anyway though.
