[vorbis] bitrtate peeling and lossless compression

[Marshall Eubanks]

Remember, the better the lossy compression is, the more the difference
between the compression and the original will seem like noise, and the
less effective it will be to apply lossless compression to that difference.

I suspect it would be better to keep the lossy and lossless compressions
independent.
