I'm amazed you can hear a difference between -q8 and -q7.  It's possible that 
mplayer isn't decoding right, though.  What happens when you substitute 
mplayer with ogg123?

I'd gladly pay $1 to legally download a song in a format _completely_
devoid of "rights management."  If a content provider won't sell me
that, they either don't trust me or want to limit my rights, and they
don't deserve my business, my bandwidth, or my time.
