[vorbis] quality settings

[Casey Allen Shobe]

I've been encoding a *lot* with RC2.  From what I understand, batch encoding 
is broken in RC3, which makes it unacceptable for me to upgrade.  What I'm 
curious about is what the quality level is hardcoded to in RC2 since -q is 
not an option yet.

I've been encoding everything with 'oggenc -b 350', as that keeps it high 
bitrate.  I'm most interested in maximal quality preservation.

Thanks,

- Casey
