The difference you're seeing in file size is most likely due to different
bitrates. I remember seeing a message that the source that's currently in
CVS is set to ~160 kbps, while the precompiled ogglame (from vorbis.com) was
linked against an older version of the library and set at about 128 kbps.
Libvorbis right now only has one predefined mode ("bitrate"), and so
changing command-line options for lame won't make any difference.
regards,
Andy Key
