Disappoint who?  A programmer is not going to be upset to find
that when ey presses the GO button, it runs a script that does

   getaudio | filter -20db | oggenc 

instead of 

   getaudio | oggenc -filter "20db"

and nobody else will even know the difference if it is installed
for em along with the rest of the programs.

Which seems to be proof that nobody is too disappointed.  What
you are asking is to have one pre-filter chosen at random
and compiled into the basic codec.
