Latest CVS from Monty's branch sounds a lot better on this,
it's still different but doesn't sound that bad.

However, in the background there is an instrument (dunno
how it's called in english, basically shaking grains in
a box) which keeps the rhythm and has one beat/shake that is
louder than the others. After encoding with Vorbis it is
just like the other ones.

I don't know if this is interesting or not, as it's a
decoded mp3 I started with, but if you want to hear it
gimme a tell on IRC.
