Yes, it's a known issue.  Read the docs - it's not reccomended to encode 
anything at less than 96 kbps.  In fact, the built-in help for OggEnc 
bottoms out at 96 kbps (meaning it's the lowest mentioned)

You're forgetting a minor caveat:  This is an Open-Source project.  The 
view is that it's better to finish and release a bug-free product as 
1.0, than it is to keep any kind of calendar schedule.

So as a result, the best way to describe when it'll be fixed is"When 
it's done."  However, from reading earlier posts by the developers, 
they've got quite a lot of work to do before reaching a 1.0 status.
