I'm not sure if it is possible to reencode a vorbis file to
a newer better-peelable vorbis-1 file. This implies redisign
of the (currently one-stage?) quantizing mechanism to multi-stage
VQ. - Yes, I'm aware that Vorbis supports multistage VQ. But
i have absolutely no idea how this conversion should be done
without introducing new quantizing errors. Do you ?
