[vorbis] OGG CD Audio Burning

[Patrick Masters]

I used to use Media Jukebox. But I found the interface quite clunky and for
some reason, did not like waiting for the files to decode to wav before
burning. It seems that too many of these apps focus on multiple audio types
instead of someone doing one really good. I thought someone would have
started this project by now.
