I, sort of, expected something like this, as I knew that vorbis 
does not use bitrates internally...

So I was pleasantly surprised after seeing the '-q' option.  The 
'oggenc' man page generally provides much more information than 
'oggenc --help'.  At any rate, what exactly does '-q' do?  Is it 
simply a wrapper for '-m' and '-M'?  Or something new?  Is there 
some easy way to convert "qualities" to bitrates?
