Subject: [linux-audio-user] How do you make an ogg?

A technical but mostly non-linux friend was asking me about where Ogg
Vorbis is relative to MP3's, given the current status of MP3 encoding
software.
I did a quick test of making an ogg from a wav, and my naive version
produced:
[lconrad_AT_tuba renfaire]$ ls -l hercules*
-rw-rw-r-- 1 lconrad lconrad 4526080 Aug 18 14:14 hercules2.mp3
-rw-rw-r-- 1 lconrad lconrad 12220015 Sep 3 12:30 hercules2.ogg
-rw-rw-r-- 1 lconrad lconrad 49956104 Aug 18 14:09 hercules2.wav
I used ecasound to do the encoding, but what my ecasoundrc says it did
is:
ext-ogg-output-cmd = oggenc --raw -o %f
oggenc is:
[lconrad_AT_tuba renfaire]$ oggenc -v
OggEnc v0.8 (libvorbis rc2)
So my question is, is there a way to get the ogg file down closer to
the size of the mp3 file?
