Well, Vorbis isn't really a codec specification. It's a bitstream 
specification, that says how a certain file should be played. How 
to encode exactly is not a part of the standard, and it doesn't 
have to be. After all it doesn't really matter how the Vorbis file 
comes into existance if you just want to exchange it. So, what you 
are probably looking for is an overview of how the current Vorbis 
reference encoder works.

I Googled http://www.xiph.org/archives/vorbis/200303/0113.html, but 
that page seems to have disappeared. Perhaps the author is still 
reachable though.
