[vorbis] Format converters

[Mark Hetherington]

It is possible to lower bitrate without decoding on Ogg Vorbis files, but the 
tools do not currently exist.

It is not possible to directly convert from any compressed format to a 
different compressed format without decoding->encoding. It is a logical 
impossibility. The data is of a completely different type.
