Bug#771826: sound-juicer: low ogg vorbis quality / missing quality settings

[Daniel Blaschke]

Package: sound-juicer
Version: 3.14.0-1+b1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

when ripping to ogg vorbis, sound-juicer uses the default quality setting 3
(~112 kpbs) which is rather low.
Please consider changing the default value to something higher (i.e. 6 or 7).
(Curiously, the default mp3-quality setting seems to be higher.)

Of course, the best thing would be to re-introduce custom quality settings
(like they used to be present and are still mentioned in the outdated
documentation), but I guess one would have to wait for upstream to re-implement
that...

For now, I feel a sensible default setting that gives users fairly high music
quality would be great (and in times of huge harddisks I believe 6 or 7 would
be a good setting).

Cheers, Daniel
