[Vorbis] Compressing small (<2k) .wav files

[Greg Rezansoff]

Hi,
    When I used oggenc to encode small PCM wav files (eg <2k), the size of the .ogg file is usually larger.
I assume this is because of some sort of header or dictionary that gets placed at the beginning, and some technical reason.

Is there any way around this?  Its not a big issue for me, since most of the files I compress are much larger, and the compression is good.

It would be clever if the encoder were able to detect this somehow, and just store the files as raw PCM, and skip any fancy headers.

Any thoughts?

(Other than this, the ogg encoding works great!)
