[vorbis] intro to compressed audio tutorial

[Pontus Carlsson]

Real nice.. Thought about the last part on transcoders. Isn't a
transcoder an application that translates between two formats instead of
decompressing and then compress again.. At least in QT the term is used
in that way

Graham Mitchell - computer science teacher, Leander High School "If I
had a nickname, I think I would want it to be 'Prince of Weasels,'
because then I could go up and bite people and they would turn around
and go, 'What the--?'  And then they would recognize me, and go, 'Oh,
it's you, the Prince of Weasels.'"
