[vorbis] Quality & Tags

[Andy Dale]

an idea i also have about this is people that use ripper/encoder frontend
type things.  you would want an option in programs like cdex or eac to look
at what command line options it used while encoding with oggenc and place
that into the encsettings tag.  this would also aid when filesharing of oggs
gets big and power users don't want to get poorly encoded oggs, they can
check this tag.

This may be encoder version specific -- you would have to include its
version, too.
As the encoder evolves and more different command lines exist, this may get
very messy.

What about something in-between? I would suggest XML; use tags for whatever
encoding parameter you need, and do it with some abstraction from the real
command line parameter to remove the dependency from the encoder version.
This would be human readable as it is (at least for the experts), but it may
easily transformed to a 'dummy user cleartext'.

So long
