I believe the vorbis file format was finalised long ago and the decoder
is frozen, so the only advances being made right now are in the encoding
algorithms.

Your RC3 decoder should yield the best quality, though I'm not sure if
the RC3 encoder is the same as the current CVS -- There may for example
have been some optimisations, though I doubt it. In any case this would
not affect the quality of the audio.
