I can't help with kio_audiocd, but I assume that you will have to
recompile it from source after a successful Vorbis installation. There's
a binary incompatibility between rc3 and 1.0, that means dynamically or
statically linked programs won't work. Recompiling and linking them to
the correct Vorbis libs will help.

You have two different versions of Vorbis installed in /usr and
/usr/local. This will definitely cause problems (unless you compile 1.0
with switches like --with-ogg=<correct_1.0_prefix>). Since SuSE uses
/usr as the default prefix, as I pointed out already in another mail, I
suggest you use this prefix for all your installations to prevent
conflicts like that.

A dirty way to clean up your stuff would be to manually remove Vorbis
from /usr/local. That is, delete lib/libao*, lib/libogg*,
lib/libvorbis*, include/ao.h, include/ogg.h, include/vorbisenc.h and
include/vorbisfile.h (all below /usr/local). Then delete oggenc, ogg123,
vorbiscomment, etc from /usr/local/bin. I neither know exactly whether
that is too much or too little, but it always worked for me. Note that
after that, you still have all the manuals etc in /usr/local/share/man
etc; delete them, too, if you feel like it.

After that, reinstall libao, libogg, libvorbis and vorbis-tools from the
1.0 source packages with `./configure --prefix=/usr`. After that, `which
oggenc` should result in "/usr/bin/oggenc" and oggenc -h should tell you
that it's version 1.0. Test it whether it produces nice .ogg files and
play the .ogg with ogg123. If that works, the Vorbis side is ok.

I can't really help with kio_audiocd; try to find out where it is
installed and compile it from source or an SRPM using the same prefix as
it is now to overwrite the old version. I think that should solve those
problems. Note that compiling kio_audiocd might require you to install
-devel packages first, e.g. cdparanoia and decore for DivX etc.
