[vorbis] Vorbis vs Speex

[noprivacy at earthlink.net]

I agree, of course.  And that is why I made certain to state what bps rate
the original mp3's were.

I was trying to be honest.  And I even admitted that my second test results
were somewhat different  from what my original impression had been and that
some of my problems might have been due to SpeexDrop configuration issues.

(And Greg... I forgot to mention... No I don't have the original CD's for
those.  I have the original LP record of Bill Cosby but not the cd.  And I
got the Slinky commercial off WinMX.)

<p>IMHO, I don't believe it will make much if any noticeable difference
when encoding at such low bitrates, where the sound is so drastically
different to the original.
