oggenc weirdness

[Kerry Hoath]

Since we're all talking about anything and everything at the moment, here's
one for the list to think on:
I am currently sampling some 4-track material I own to keep it
safe in case the tapes age or snap.
I get the wav files as I want them; (I can summarize to the list if
anyone cares with the scripts I wrote yesterday to make it all work)
and these aren't Jim's scripts, I wrote these ones with comments to aid
in maintainance.
I have a .wav file 22050 samples per second 16-bit little endian mono.
I try to oggenc this file with the following command:
oggenc -b32 side01.wav
and get a message that "mode initialization failed"
This used to work fine in 1.0rc2 but appears to have broken in 1.0rc3
Anyone else running 1.0rc3 and seen this behaviour?
If I don't specify -b32 I get an encoded file which averages 51kb/s which is far too
much bandwidth to waste on this stuff. At the moment I am left to mp3 the files
with lame -h -b32 side01.wav side01.mp3
which does work but I would preferr to use ogg. Must I downgrade to 1.0rc2 again?

Any insites would be apreciated.

Regards, Kerry.
