I use version 0.7 of oggenc (it says libvorbis beta4 too) to encode, and
the winamp plugin from http://www.blorp.com/~peter/zips/in_vorbis.zip for
playing. I downloaded it again today, but it's the same as the one I used
before. Please tell me if I should upgrade something.

There is some white noise in the wav, and it sounds to me as if the
encoder can't decide whether to keep it or to mask it out.
