I completely agree. Who wrote OggDrop? What were they thinking when they 
didn't include the numeric value of the quality setting, when that value 
is used in every other aspect of the codec?

It should be so easy to add this functionality (if only I had some C++ 
compiler, I could have changed it myself and submitted the code back to 
the authors). Shouldn't take more than one minute to change this to the 
better.

Is this Monty's code??
