I could conceive a difference in the compilers with regards to types. 
 But I believe the code is carefully written to avoid such differences. 
 Nah, can't be a CPU bug.  Source differences are my first guess.  
If I can rule those out, then I'll consider something else.

Let me ask a question.  Does the same source wav file produce an 
identical ogg file with MSVC/Win32 and gcc/Linux?  Oh, when will I 
get my poor Mandrake back together!?

Okay, if you'd like to, you can get them here:

I'm hoping some kind person with MSVC will do me a favor.  I 
would like to try either of the following:

1) Someone could compile oggenc with MSVC, and then send me 
the source and the resulting oggenc.

2) I could download the code, and then let someone else have at it 
(the same code), and then return just the binary to me.
