Managed bitrates are sometimes needed, e.g. for streaming. I
did a test with quality set to 0, which produced a 55 kbps
file -- much to big for people on an 28,8 kbps (or even
56 kbps) modems. Perhaps we need negative quality settings? :)

But since 'quality settings will *always* produce a higher
quality file for the same given size', why not explicitly state
this on the output:

   Encoding "foo.wav" to
            "foo.ogg" at bitrate 56 kbps
   Encoding with managed bitrates.
   Note: Using the --bitrate parameter is discouraged, as the
         --quality paramter will always produce a higher quality
         file for the same size/bitrate.
