[vorbis] Vorbis native Ripper-decoder-encoder

[Claudio Bustos]

Mhhh... Yes, I know is redundant to do (many programs do the same work),
but I think is a must to make a ripper-decoder-encoder based on Ogg. Yes,
encode a file in ogg from a mp3 is BAD, but the end-user WANT THIS. ¿How
many post of people requesting a program that can make it we receive?
So, in 2-3 clicks this not-audiophile can encode all his-her Mp3 in ogg and
rip all his-her CDs in Ogg, with a nice interface plenty of fishes and Thors. 
I repeat, I think in the end-user and what he need. CD-EX is open-source,
so we can get some of the code to start to develop....
