Would be nice to see oggenc or some other ogg encoder with the abiltiy to 
encode at whatever bitrate is necessary for the ogg to sound good.  Instead 
of guess and checking that is necessary now (which slows down encoding ogg 
files for cds quite a lot unless you dont care about space/quality 
tradeoffs).  There is no one bitrate fits all.  Lame accomplishes this with 
mp3.
