[vorbis-dev] Vorbis is low on artifacts but EQ isn't good

I just reported a similar problem on the vorbis at xiph.org list
yesterday -- they could well be related. As I understand it, it has to
do with the fact that at high frequencies, oggenc doesn't separate the
two channels to save bandwidth, but this can lead to a change in
coherence and therefore a maximum +3dB change in total power in the
worst case of a 90deg phase difference in the original.

Any experts, please correct me if I'm wrong...
