Upgrade to beta3 (or current cvs). Beta 2 is old. OggEnc has accepted
different sample rates since shortly before the beta 3 release (early
november)

LAME can probably do the resampling internally, though (thus not requiring
sox to do this seperately). Not sure how old/out of date the LAME vorbis
support is. Resampling in oggenc is planned, but I don't know when I'll get
around to it.
