OggEnc currently supports 7 different modes. Each of these is a fully
VBR
(variable bitrate) mode, but they vary in intended average bitrate. The
bitrate option (--bitrate, -b) will choose the mode closest to the
chosen
bitrate. The 6 modes are approximately 112,128,160,192,256, and 350
kbps
(for stereo 44.1kHz input. Halve these numbers for mono input).
The default is the 128 kbps mode.  Lower sampling rates work properly,
but don't scale the bitrate; -b 112 on a stereo 22kHz file will produce
a
~70kbps file, not 112kbps.)

o if you use -b 1 you get -b 112.
