What does the official 'oggenc' do, exactly?  Doesn't it already 
do UTF-8?  In both Linux and Windows, I've put special 
characters in my Ogg files, and it seems to me the tags in Ogg 
files are already in UTF-8.  That's because doing an 'ogginfo' 
on an ogg file in Linux shows weird characters, which are 
displayed correctly if I change the character set to ISO-8859-1 
(pipe output to 'recode u8...lat1').

So, to sum it up, I have two questions:
1. Is there any way to get ISO-8859-1 characters in ogg files?
2. What character set is used in tags (in ogg files)?  Is it OS 
dependent?
