Maybe I'm missing the point, but why on earth would you WANT to do
something like that?  I've heard of people (usually uninformed people)
decoding a song from one format and then trying to encode it in another,
but just doing encode-decode cycles in the same format?  Even if you
could do such a thing without quality degradation, why do it in the
first place?
