[MPlayer-users] encoding audio as Ogg/Vorbis

Do NOT EVER put Vorbis into AVI. Not if you ever intend to seek in that
file. Vorbis is not only VBR but VSP (variable number of samples per
packet, MP3 has a fixed number of samples per packet). AVI does not
contain timestamps, so A/V sync is not guaranteed if you put Vorbis into
AVI.

Technically it's possible. Hell, technically speaking you can even put
the Linux kernel into an AVI. But what's the point?
