The only processing that would make those ogg's sound 'horrible' is the 
normalize --peak I applied, which amplifies them by about 11db.

On my system, the only difference that makes is I don't have to crank up 
my volume up higher when playing video that was downmixed from 5.1.  
Otherwise, I can't hear a difference with / without the amplification.  
Maybe your audio setup is having trouble when the audio level is close 
to maximum?
