beta4 is production quality code.  It's being used by many companies.

What do you mean 'basically a cut / paste job'?  There's a Win32 based
SDK there, with nearly completely documentation. There are libaries and
docs for debian and redhat, and we'll be adding more support in the
future.

it's hardly a cut and paste job.  There's even clear cut example code,
more examples in the docs, and even more when you consider that all the
vorbis tools we have are also open source.

The 'format' is stabalized.  What's in beta is the reference
implementation.  This should all be addressed in the FAQ, and that FAQ
hasn't changed much over the last year.
