[vorbis] Vorbis native Ripper-decoder-encoder

[Benjamin Flanders]

On this whole transcription thing. Mr. Moffitt said it
best "...we'd certainly like to try that, but the real
issue there is that there's no reason to re-encode
your mp3s, unless you just love Vorbis. We're not
dealing with VCR's or CD players anymore. XMMS will
play both, and so will the HipZip. "

Why lose so much sound quality to change mp3's to ogg?
 They can live in harmony side by side.  Personaly,
I've stopped encoding mp3's and just do ogg but I am
not going to change formats on all my MP3's.
