Don't I know it :)

Yup.

Before you spend any significant amount of time, try the 1.9.x development
series at http://lly.org/~rcw/abcde/development/.

At this point I'm not accepting patches to 1.1.x unless it's a security
issue of some sort.

1.9.1 will theoretically call vorbize/oggenc if you type abcde -o ogg, but
I haven't had a chance to test that yet. I'm sure it has at least a couple
bugs, I just added the functionality Thursday.

It won't comment your oggs yet either, but at least it won't ID3 tag them.
:)

Anyway, my main concern is Ogg's current lack of joint stereo support. I'm
reluctant to switch the default output type to ogg until that functionality
exists. That functionality may only be a few months out.
